    Great organization. If anyone is interested in more information, PM me.

    Our guys went out last spring and helped out for a day. Absolutely loved the experience.

    Miracle League

    They built a very impressive small artificial-turf field there. Alot of HS students from the area volunteer as part of community activity credit.

    Each kid who plays (some just watch) is paired up with a volunteer who stays with him throughout the game. My son was paired with a 6 year old (obviously a little afraid of the situation) who never let go of my sons shorts, and after the game the boy's mom emotionally thanked my son for taking such good care of him.

    What a great example the these boys set for all our sons and daughters. Folks just do not realize how something like this organization will touch the hearts of many.

    Great Experience

    My son & his travel ball team went & helped out one night about 3 years ago. He was nervous at frist but the kids are wonderful. Everyone needs to volunteer or go watch the miracle league in action. He still talks about it to this day.
