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.
