Mission Statement
To create positive life experiences for children and adults with special needs and for their families through baseball.
About This Cause
Our History In 2004, after watching a television program about the national Miracle League, local businessmen Robin Rose and Tony Withers were inspired to establish the Miracle League of the Triangle. The goal was simple–provide children with special needs the opportunity to play America’s favorite pastime. Their hope was to have 40 children and at least 100 volunteers for Opening Day. On September 16, 2006, The Miracle League of the Triangle opened its first season at Andy’s Foundation Ball Field with more than 100 players and 200 volunteers from throughout the Triangle. Less than eight years later, a second field was built in north Raleigh. Between the 2 locations we serve over 500 players with special needs each season on 36 teams. In the spring of 2015 we expanded our program by offering an Adult League age-group and a competitive camp. In 2022 we anticipate opening a third ball field in Durham. Approximately 4000 volunteer opportunities exist each year. Who Can Play? There’s something about the game of baseball that lights up a player’s eyes. It’s an experience that everyone deserves. But for individuals facing physical or cognitive challenges, that opportunity is often unavailable or can be a difficult first step. The Miracle League of the Triangle is a fully inclusive program. Anyone (age 5 and up) with a diagnosed disability or IEP/504 plan may be eligible to participate. Who Can Volunteer? Our League has a variety of volunteer opportunities. Enthusiasm and compassion are the only prerequisites. By giving only a few hours of your time, you will not only make a difference in the life of a player with special needs, but also grow as a person. Volunteers, ages 12 and up, can assist our players as one-on-one buddies, coaches, at the registration table, or as an announcer, umpire, or DJ/scoreboard operator. What are the Benefits of Giving? Come to a game, watch from the bleachers, and see first-hand the difference your contributions make. One of our team sponsors said it best: "I cannot begin to put into words how I was touched every time one of the players hit the ball and ran the bases with the biggest smile! I was in tears during the game, after the game, and cried again telling my co-workers this morning. It was an experience I will never forget. I am honored to work for a company that supports your organization."
