As in years past, we will be raising money for two little league families in need; the Duncan and Waldrop families. We have included a small bio below to highlight why we are supporting them. Their Venmo’s are included and please give what you can. We will be taking cash and Venmo at the fields Monday night as well. We will be selling Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and drinks to raise money for these precious families. So, bring out your families and friends for a great night.
The Washington City Little League is a community of baseball and softball players, coaches, and families who share a love for the game.
Waldrop Family
One of our families, the Waldrops, needs our support in this difficult time.
Hope Waldrop, mother of three Little Leaguers and wife of a Little League coach, passed away from liver cancer on December 18, 2022. She was a devoted and cheerful presence at the fields, always cheering on her children, Whit, Jack, and Zoe, who played baseball and softball for Washington City. She was also a supportive partner to her husband Mike, who coached teams over the years.
Hope was more than just a baseball mom. She was a woman of faith, a teacher, and a community leader. She had a master’s degree in elementary education from the University of Mississippi and became a National Board-Certified classroom teacher. She taught school in Tennessee and Mississippi before moving to Utah in 2011. She also helped found the Classical Conversations homeschool organization in St. George and served in various ministries with the Desert Ridge Baptist Church.
We want to honor Hope’s memory and help her family with the expenses of her funeral and medical bills. That’s why we are organizing a fundraiser in conjunction with our homer derby.
Please join us in showing our love and appreciation for the Waldrops. They have been part of our Washington City Little League family for over a decade and they deserve our support and gratitude. Let’s make this fundraiser a success and celebrate Hope’s life and legacy.

Becca Duncan is a remarkable individual who has touched the lives of many people. She is a dedicated mother of four. Her boys, Graham and Calvin play in our league. She is always putting her children first and ensuring that they have everything they need to succeed. Becca has a positive attitude that is infectious, and she approaches life with a sense of optimism and grace that inspires those around her. She is a great friend to anyone she meets, always willing to lend a listening ear or offer a kind word. Despite facing the tremendous challenge of stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma cancer, Becca has remained strong and resilient. She has fought with determination and courage for the past five months, and her spirit and tenacity are truly admirable. Becca is full of love, perseverance, and hope, and she is a shining example of what it means to live life to the fullest, no matter the circumstances.
