Dear Friend of the Miracle League of Stanislaus County,
There is nothing more heartwarming than to see children playing America’s favorite pastime. But for children facing any disability, that opportunity isn’t always easy to achieve. Baseball diamonds are not exactly designed for athletes with wheelchairs or assistive devices in mind. We remove these barriers and allow these special athletes to experience the joy of playing baseball.
Miracle League fields remove the obstacles that arise from natural grass fields. Teams play on a custom-designed, rubberized surface field that will accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices. In other words, it levels the playing field where children can hit, run, and catch – just as they envisioned in their dreams!
The Miracle League of Stanislaus County will provide a community outreach for volunteers, from young to old, to benefit from the action on the field. Through the “Buddy” program, youth and community volunteers partner with our players to provide assistance and encouragement. The partnership benefits both sides as they share the great American pastime to find common ground and, most importantly, friendships.
