Miracle Field Fundraiser: Raising Money to Give Kids with Special Needs the Opportunity to Play America’s Favorite Pastime

Woodbury, MN, September 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Wade Hanson, along with 5 other members of the Minnesota Network, have joined forces to raise money for the Miracle League Field at Beilenberg Sports Center in Woodbury. The Miracle Field consists of a baseball/softball field with a rubber surface that allows kids in wheel chairs and walking devices to play ball. Currently these kids have to drive over 30 miles to play. The Woodbury Rotary club began fundraising efforts in 2007 to build this special field. They successfully raised $215,000, but $35,000 is still needed to complete the project.

The Miracle League is a national organization that was founded in 1997. Presently there are 240 Miracle League Organizations across the country including Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia. The Miracle League is proud to serve over 200,000 children and young adults with disabilities.

The 2011 Miracle Field Fundraising Event will be held at the Bielenberg Sports Center from 1pm to 4pm on Sunday, September 11, 2011. There is no cost for admission, but donations are greatly appreciated and 100% of the proceeds will go to the remaining $35,000 of the $250,000 needed to build the Jeff Hanson Miracle League Field as part of the Bielenberg Sports Complex. The Miracle Field is the only field of its kind located in the East Metro area. A specially designed rubber turf field allows athletes with mental and/or physical challenges to play baseball. The Miracle League makes dreams come true for athletes with special needs.
