Congressman Adam Smith Sponsors Federal Way American Little League Team
 
April 8, 1997Congressman Adam Smith, accompanied by his wife Sara, attended the Federal Way Little League Jamboree on Saturday, April 5 to watch his team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, take the field for the first time.

Smith is the sponsor of the Federal Way t-ball team. "I want to be involved in my community," Smith explained. "I'm proud to be involved with the program."

To sponsor the team, Smith donated $300--personal money, not government money--to fund the team's uniforms and equipment. He also plans to attend some of their games and "cheer them on."

"Organized sports are great for kids," Smith said. "It teaches discipline, hard work, teamwork, and goal setting. I'm glad I can help provide that opportunity to kids in my community."
