What is Miracle League?
The Miracle League is a national organization the helps win private-public partnership funding to build ball fields for children with disabilities. These special fields are constructed in such a way that even children in wheelchairs can play. This all began in our community when Vancouver resident, Art Liss, wanted to get a Miracle League ball field built at the Harmony Sports Complex in Camas.
As of April 2006 there are 143 Miracle League Organizations across the country, 41 completed rubberized fields, 61 fields under construction and another 30 plus groundbreakings scheduled for 2006. Our immediate goal of 500 plus Miracle League fields including several international locations, will serve approximately 1.3 million children, this being made possible with the help of communities, volunteers, parents, donators, individual sponsors, and corporate sponsors this program will be offered to every city in the country so children with special needs around the globe will have this same opportunity. The Miracle League believes;
“Everyone Deserves A Chance to Play Baseball.”
