ORWALL Capital Campaign

For more than five decades, Oak Ridge Woodlands Area Little League (ORWALL) has shaped childhoods, strengthened families, and united our community. Since 1970, the ORWALL complex has been a place where players learn, families gather, and lifelong memories are created.

To preserve this legacy and prepare for the next generation of athletes, ORWALL is launching a multi-phase Capital Campaign focused on essential upgrades and long-term facility improvements.

Why This Campaign Matters

Over the past several years, ORWALL has experienced tremendous growth—over 1,100 players in Spring 2025 and 1,000+ in Fall 2025. While participation expands, key areas of our facility have aged beyond routine repair and require major investment.

Many structures are original or more than 20 years old. To meet safety standards, improve accessibility, and accommodate growing participation, ORWALL must reinvest in the complex.

Every dollar raised goes directly back into improving our players’ experience and ensuring ORWALL remains the premier youth baseball destination for families.

All projects are organized into five targeted phases, allowing ORWALL to fund and complete improvements efficiently and transparently.

WHERE WILL THE FUNDS COME FROM?

We will be soliciting donations from local business and corporations. We are also asking our ORWALL families and alumnae for contributions. 

HOW CAN WE PARTICIPATE? 

For most kids, little league is the highest level of baseball they will every play.  With participation and support, the upgrades will provide for an experience that keeps players coming back, year after year, and generation after generation. Teams will be asked to set a goal and reach 100% player participation.
