The celebration of the Jackie Robinson West Little League team’s national championship continued Friday as team members and their families flew to Disney World on a trip sponsored by United Airlines and the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.
The boys and their families flew out of O’Hare International Airport on Friday morning to Orlando for a three-night stay at a Disney World Resort, according to a news release from United Airlines.
The airline said in the release the trip was “in celebration of their outstanding performance in the U.S. Little League World Series.”
The team from the South and Southwest sides last month won the national series and fell short of an international title by losing to a South Korean team.
United Airlines hosted a send-off party at O’Hare on Friday morning, according to the airline.
