"The Miracle League" is a charitable organization that provides children with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. There is something about playing the game of baseball that lights up youngsters’ eyes, but for children facing physical and mental challenges, that opportunity can often be a difficult first step. The Miracle League gives these children the opportunity to get out in the sunshine, and enjoy playing the game of baseball in its purest form.
The Miracle League of Michigan provided a New Opportunity for individuals in power wheelchairs recently. Thanks to the Coach Joe Chuhak for coming in from Lansing to provide instruction and Margaret Martin and City of Westland for hosting this event. Also, thanks to Marlene Dean Doran and everyone from The Civitan Club of Westland for serving and providing pizza, pop and cookies to all after the game.
