The Paseo Verde Little League ousted defending U.S. champion Mountain Ridge 6-4 for the state championship on Tuesday. Now the team is looking for donations to help offset the cost of traveling to the Western Regional, which begins Aug. 9 in San Bernardino, Calif.

There will be a fundraiser at Smashburger, 9640 S. Eastern Ave., from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday. During that time, $1 from each purchase will be donated to the league. Paseo Verde also is accepting donations on the league website at www.pvllnv.com.

The team also will meet with Henderson mayor Andy Hafen at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Henderson City Hall.
