Eastside Little League honored after Measure BP grant supports 122 players
Summary
The SOC Committee and the City of Baldwin Park presented a community-empowerment grant to Eastside Little League, supporting 122 players across 11 teams and seven divisions.
The SOC Committee and City of Baldwin Park presented a ceremonial check and certificates recognizing Eastside Little League after the program received a community-empowerment grant.
Christopher Saenz, secretary of Eastside Little League, told the committee the program enrolled 122 players this season across 11 teams in seven divisions and that the Measure BP and city contribution ensured any child who wanted to play baseball or softball could do so. Saenz brought league volunteers and several youth players to the meeting to accept the ceremonial check.
Veronica Lopez, district director for Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio, presented certificates of recognition on the assemblywoman’s behalf and congratulated coaches, managers and volunteers for supporting children and encouraging positive community participation.
Why it matters: staff and elected representatives framed the grant as support for youth activity and community-building in Baldwin Park. League leaders said the funds will help keep the program running and expand access for more children.
Details and context: league volunteers said the current season marked a long-running tradition for the city; one presenter noted the league’s history spans decades and predates city incorporation. The committee paused new-business items to allow photos and a short acknowledgement of the players.
Ending: Committee members and city staff congratulated the league, and staff noted the grant-funded program will continue to be monitored as part of Measure BP-funded community programs.
