K21 Foundation this week announced a $22,000 grant to the Warsaw Little League.
The funds will be used to purchase bleachers, fence caps and a commercial-grade mower for the facility.
According to Warsaw Little League President Rich Utley, "The purchase of this equipment will allow us to properly maintain the ballpark grounds and provide a safe and comfortable environment for our participants and visitors."
Registration for the organization in 2004 was 520 children, up 4 percent from the previous season. For 2005, the numbers rose to 530, up 1.9 percent. Players range in age from 5 to 17 years old.
K21 President Willis Alt said, "The Warsaw Little League has been around for more than 50 years. K21 is pleased to provide funding for this organization which has provided athletic opportunities for so many community residents for so many years."
Opening day for the 2005 season was Friday.
