Our 2024 Event Benefactor: The Miracle League of Dane County

Baseball is for everyone. That's what The Miracle League of Dane County believes, and they're making it a reality for kids with disabilities.

This all started with Founder Bill Schultz's love for baseball. As a kid, he played endlessly, but a physical disability kept him from joining Little League. Fast forward to 2018, Bill saw a story about The Miracle League. They build special fields for kids with disabilities, complete with rubberized turf and volunteer "buddies."

Inspired, Bill worked to bring this to Dane County. Thanks to community support and fundraising, over $500,000 was raised. The field opened in 2021, and 90 boys and girls played alongside 150 volunteers. In 2022 that number jumped to 200 players and last summer the league hosted 250 participants!

"Everyone Deserves A Chance To Play Baseball" is more than a slogan. Your support at this year’s Gala will change the lives of some very special children and their families.
