Core Programs & Meaning of Logo

Spanish-English programs guide youth through Roberto Clemente’s 21 Personal Attributes (Life Lessons). WE#21 members are a humanitarian service club that includes coed youth baseball/softball teams.

• The logo captures the spirit of “Playing Catch, the essence of WE#21.”
• It depicts catching and throwing (reflecting) Roberto Clemente’s 21 Points of Light.
• The lights unite into a STAR caught by the glove and then reflected into the Caribbean Sea below the glove.
• The reflected light represents those who Catch his Light and emulate him in service to others.
• Their reflected lights unite to carry Roberto, not only to the shores of Nicaragua and Puerto Rico, their combined lights wash up upon and illuminate the shores of every continent/island throughout the world.
• Roberto lives forever when we do as he would do.”

WE#21’s Theme Is Catching & Reflecting Roberto’s Light

In our video “Playing Catch” (in development), Roberto plays catch from right field with Knotholers in the bleachers before the Pirates-Dodgers game at Forbes Field on May 6, 1961. Viewers will discover that was when WE#21 was born!
