The Leakey Little League received a $2,500 grant to purchase seating and awnings for a newly added softball field. The awnings will provide shade and protection against foul balls for spectators.
“The Leakey Little League sincerely appreciates the BEC Foundation for their continued support of our youth program,” said Renee Rimkus, Leakey Little League president. “The grant will help us get much closer to our ultimate goal of $10,000 to construct a new awning over bleachers at the new softball field.”
