Fort Des Moines Little League – CDM 2024 Non-Profit Silent Auction Tree Participant

Fort Des Moines Little League First Timers

Fort Des Moines Little League (FDLL) will be having a ball this year as a first time participant in the Christkindlmarket Silent Auction!

FDLL is presenting their tree “Play Ball” and can’t wait to share it with CDM patrons. America’s favorite pastime and the most wonderful time of the year come together on this tree. The ball fields and holidays with the family are two of the best ways to spend time and create memories!

Fort Des Moines Little League prides itself on being a community of families that come together around baseball.  Over half of the volunteer board at Fort Des Moines is made up of members who either grew up playing at Fort Des Moines or had siblings that played at Fort Des Moines.  This connection and sense of ownership is what has helped Fort Des Moines continue to grow the last several years. The objective of the League shall be to implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority, so that they may be adjusted, stronger and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens. Fort Des Moines Little League is a youth baseball program, chartered by Little League International, serving children ages 3 -16, on the greater south side of Des Moines, Norwalk and Carlisle Iowa.  Founded in 1955, Fort Des Moines Little league has been a south side tradition for 70 years!  The focus of the program is to promote youth sport participation, and teach children the ideals of sportsmanship, hard-work, respect, teamwork and competition while having fun and learning the skills of the game of baseball.  Fort Des Moines Little League believes in the power of youth baseball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities.
