Ashley LaBore Memorial Hometown Hero Award
South Beaverton Girls Little League is a community driven program that strives to teach responsibility, hard work, and sportsmanship in all of players and volunteers. As a league, we also want to recognize those in our South Beaverton community that may or may not be a participant in our organization, but strive to better our community and act in the same efforts that we try to instill in our players.
In 2018, SBGLL lost one of those community volunteers that encouraged the love for the diamond. Ashley LaBore's "love for softball and kids resulted in her pursuing being a softball coach. She always referred to her team as 'Her Girls.' She was a beacon of laughter and colorful socks." (from Ashley LaBore Memorial USA Softball Tournament).
In 2019, the SBGLL board unanimously voted to name the Hometwon Hero Award in Ashley LaBore's honor.
Past recipients of this honor:
2023 - Mike Frainey
2020 - Keanon Lowe
2019 – Lt Peter St John – Portland Fire and Rescue
2018 – Sgt. Scott Burke Beaverton Police Department
Hometown Hero nominations will be accepted beginning in August through November of the current season. Nominees will be reviewed and voted on by the board during December's board meeting. Announcements of awards will be distributed within Opening Day Ceremony details.
