Southwest Portland Little League

Pete Reynolds Memorial Field

In honor of the late Pete Reynolds, longtime supporter of Southwest Portland Little League, we are looking to create the Pete Reynolds Memorial Field. Pete recently passed away; his grandchildren are currently playing baseball and softball in the league, while his daughter, Tiffany Krake, is the Vice President of Softball.

From his Obituary: Pete combined his love of family and enthusiasm for sports by coaching his children's baseball and softball teams for over 10 years. He was a major sponsor for Southwest Portland Little League as well as many other Northwest charities ... Anyone who knew him can say that they were better for having him in their life. He was a devoted husband, proud father and grandfather and a fiercely loyal friend. Blessings on Pete, who so richly blessed us all. (Read more at OregonLive).

In lieu of flowers, kindly send contributions to Southwest Portland Little League to create the Pete Reynolds Memorial Field at Markham Elementary School.

SWPLL Thanks Friends of Baseball

A huge thank you to Friends of Baseball, which has generously made a grant of $2,500 towards the league's fields upgrade and maintenance program! Friends of Baseball is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that seeks to offer Oregon’s economically and geographically challenged children enhanced opportunities for social interaction, academic success and physical and mental well-being through participation in youth baseball and softball team programs.
