The Pilot Club of Denham Springs, Louisiana, received a $1,000 matching grant from the Pilot International Foundation to support area youth with significant developmental and physical disabilities who participate in the Challenger Division of Little League Baseball through the Walker Parks and Recreation. The Challenger Division enables youth with disabilities to participate in team play providing therapeutic and socialization benefits of sports in an athletic environment structured to their individualized needs. The team is open to boys and girls ages 4-18 (21 if still in school).
