The Miracle League of Concord is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an opportunity for children with any physical
or mental challenges a place to play baseball. The goal is to have an equal playing field for these athletes that want to play on a team and enjoy the game. These athletes are not the only ones that benefit, through the "buddy" program, youth players and community volunteers partner with our players to provide assistance and encouragement. This partnership benefits both sides as they share the great American pastime to find common ground and, most improtantly, friendships.
But it is truly a GrandSlam - The children benefit, the parents, the buddies, and the community because the Miracle League begins to bring normatlity to these players and their families.
"There are millions of people out there ignoring disabilities and accomplishing incredible feats. I learned you can learn to do things differently, but do them just as well. I've learned that it's not the disability that defines you, it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. And I've learned that we have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability." - Jim Abbott
