How Can I support League 42™?
In-kind donations of goods and services, as well as donations of time and equipment, are vital to League 42’s success.
League 42 is a non-profit organization, so we rely on our volunteers and donors to make each baseball season happen. We are consistently in need of coaches and team ambassadors to oversee our teams. And we value the volunteer efforts of individuals who assist us with uniform distribution, special events, and other activities. If you would like to volunteer for League 42, contact league42wichita@gmail.com or (316) 655-1028.
It costs roughly $425,000 per year to operate our league. We hold events to help with that process, such as an annual golf tournament at Sand Creek Station in Newton and a yearly event at Chicken N Pickle in Wichita.
We recently concluded a Kids First fundraising campaign that resulted in donations of nearly $6 million. We were able to construct the Leslie Rudd Learning Center, at 1212 E. 17th Street North, which houses our office, baseball indoor training area and education initiatives. We also built a new baseball field, the Fidelity Bank Field, near 15th and Wabash.
Fundraising is a constant with our non-profit and we have made it easy for you to donate on the links provided. Thank you to everyone for their amazing support of League 42.

Equipment: We accept donations of equipment year-round. Our greatest need is youth baseball gloves, new or gently used, as well as other baseball equipment such as bats, helmets, catcher’s gear, etc. Any donations can be dropped off at McAdams Park Recreation Center or by calling 316-655-1028 and we’ll make arrangements to come to pick them up at your location.
Time: An organization like League 42 relies heavily on volunteers for its success. From coaches and assistants to parent team ambassadors to fundraising and planning committees, on and off the field events; we have a multitude of volunteer positions that will fit into your schedule.
Whether you have an hour or a year, $5 or $50,000, your passion for baseball can make a difference in a child’s life and the Wichita community. We would love to share more details with you. If your church, school, business, or civic organization would like a League 42™ representative to make a presentation to your group we would be thrilled to make that happen.
