Martinez of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation presented the Sweetwater Valley Little League team with a $20,000 check on behalf of the tribe. The donation, presented to team representatives during a viewing party of this past weekend’s game at Sweetwater Valley Little League complex, will help cover expenses for the team while it plays in the final rounds of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. “Sycuan is more than happy to continue the Kumeyaay spirit of giving and continue to be a strong partner in the community. Team sports are so important for the development of these young men. They learn a lot of characteristics – discipline, team work and hard work,” said Chairman Martinez. “And that hard work will get them through the championship. We are very proud about that.” The donation will help further fund travel, equipment, lodging expenses as well as other costs associated with the team’s participation in the prestigious sporting event. This is the second donation Sycuan has presented to the team. The tribe also provided roundtrip bus transportation for the family members of the players to the August 15 game.
