Vestavia Students Raise Funds, Awareness For Miracle League Field

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL - Students at Vestavia Hills High School are raising money this fall to help bring the game of baseball to children with disabilities. A large chuck of that fundraising occurred during Homecoming Week - more than $20,000 worth.

VHHS students selected the Miracle League Field project with the Vestavia Hills Parks and Recreation Foundation as their fall charity. The field, which will be built at Wald Park, provides children with physical and/or mental challenges the opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league.

Through various activities and fundraisers during Homecoming Week, students raised more than $23,000 for the Miracle League Field project. Fundraisers will continue this fall as students work to bring awareness to this worthy cause.
