A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992) hits a home run for Active Children Portland! All proceeds from this benefit screening go to their work transforming the lives of underserved youth through education, movement, and community engagement.
Directed by Penny Marshall, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN dramatizes the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that came to prominence during WWII. Starring Geena Davis as Dottie Hinson and Lori Petty as her sister Kit, the two Oregonians find themselves on a team with coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) and unknowingly make history. Co-starring Rosie O'Donnell, Anne Ramsay, Jon Lovitz, and Madonna in a critically-acclaimed, career-best performance, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is as legendary as the women who inspired it.
