Bob Wagner's WBC is a proud sponsor of the Tri-County Challenger Baseball League and is the official charity of the WBC. Since WBC's inception in 1997, it has been a tradition for players to make monetary contributions to provide much needed uniforms and equipment to this worthwhile program. The Challenger Divison of Little League is a program for boys and girls, who, due to physical and mental challenges, are not mainstreamed into regular Little League.
