Here are some fun facts from 2025:
- Nearly 70 leagues supported
- Participation from more than 2,000 teams
- More than 20,000 jerseys, caps and visors provided to little leagues, pony and softball leagues in San Diego County

*"By accepting the Padres jersey donation, our Little League will be able to keep our registration fees among the lowest in youth sports. We are an all-volunteer, self-supporting league and receive no money from the city to help run and maintain our facility. The Padres jersey initiative allows us to pay our bills, purchase equipment for the players and for field maintenance and provide a safe and fun environment for our players."* -- Youth Baseball Program participant
