Lesch Family Baseball for a Better Life Fund Thank you to Leslie Lesch and the family for speaking at our opening day ceremonies! To donate to the fund, you can scan the QR code or CLICK HERE TO DONATE
John Lesch volunteered for over 20 years in the CYA LL family. His passion was baseball - through and through. He started as a coach to his kids and continued to coach both Little League and Babe Ruth long after his kids were out of the leagues. He joined the CYA Little League Board of Directors where he served for many years in a variety of roles, most notably Quartermaster or Equipment Manager.
John believed in giving kids a chance, regardless of their abilities, on the baseball field. He believed that the lessons you learned on the field were lessons for life: be a team player, do your best, honor your commitments, practice, see the game through, dress for success, and the list goes on.
Sadly, John passed away in May 2019 after a battle with cancer. The Baseball for a Better Life Fund has been established in his memory to provide additional opportunities to enhance the Little League experience for CYA's youth.

| Congratulations Tom DeFranco Congratulations to our long time UIC Tom Defranco for being appointed by the Little League Southeast Region as a volunteer umpire for the 2022 Southeast Regionals in Warner Robins Georgia.
As many of you know, Tom has volunteered countless hours behind the plate umpiring Little League games in house, All-Star tournaments and State tournaments. In addition, Tom ran the CYA LL umpiring program and training for years. His selection to the regional final is a tribute to this volunteer time and hard work on and off the diamond to further better the game of little league baseball.
