Support for Walker Little League Challenger Division
The Pilot Club of Denham Springs is a proud supporter of the Walker Little League Challenger Division, a wonderful program that promotes our core values of brain health and inclusion. The Challenger program is a special, non-competitive baseball league for kids with physical and intellectual challenges. It provides a safe and fun environment where every player gets to participate and feel like a star, supported by "buddies" on the field. This promotes brain health through physical activity and social engagement while creating a truly inclusive community where everyone belongs.
The Pilot Club was key to helping the program get started. We secured a $1,000 matching grant that was used to purchase essential equipment including helmets, protective gear, balls, bats, tees, bases and gloves to meet the needs of a wide range of sizes and abilities., ensuring the team had the tools it needed to play safely. It's a joy to be part of a program that makes such a positive and lasting difference for children and families in our community. There is a dedicated Challenger Field in Sydney Hutchinson Park in Walker where these inclusive baseball games take place.
