Fred Bass and Pat Brown are well known Little League coaches who not only devote many hours during the regular season, but also give up personal time to travel with teams to State tournaments and regional competitions. They are frequently seen in the stands cheering for other teams and players on days when they have no games scheduled. It is their style of positive encouragement and firm guidance that distinguish their coaching.

Brown and Bass are recognized for building the assets of other caring adults, positive adult role models, youth programs, positive peer influence, responsibility, planning and decision making, interpersonal competence, personal power and self-esteem.

Don Mitchel had the honor of presenting the 2001 Community Asset Builders Awards to Bass and Brown.
