Miracle Leage Sports Complex: Ground Breaking Ceremony

As a result of tireless efforts of the Board and Miracle League supporters, close to 1 million dollars in donations have been raised over the past 2-½ years. The fields, which will have a rubberized surface for ease of mobility for wheelchairs and walkers, will be used for people with mental and physical impairments. The league hopes that to extend the use of the field to senior citizens, visually impaired individuals, and others with a special need and desire to play sports. It will provide a safe place for athletes to participate in beginner level or competitive sports. Surrounded by fields where the rest of the community plays ball, these athletes will have a chance to have the same athletic experiences as their peers.

Light refreshments will be served following the ceremony. Donors, friends, athletes, and supporters are all invited to celebrate this exciting occasion.
