Our Mission

JayWillMaggie_MiracleLeague2012FallThe Miracle League of Cumming-Forsyth provides physically and mentally challenged children and adults a safe and spirited program in which they can hit, run, and catch on a baseball field – just like other kids. Miracle League offers a unique and memorable opportunity these children would not otherwise have.

The Miracle League of Cumming-Forsyth is a place where every player plays, every player hits, every player gets on base, every player scores, and every player wins –every inning. Players who need help with hitting, catching, and throwing the ball are paired with a “buddy” who helps out.

Rainer Maria Rilke, a German lyric poet at the turn of the 20th century, wrote: “This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess.” Watch a Miracle League game from the bleachers and you will be moved as you have never been moved at any other athletic event. It will be unforgettable, and you will be glad you were there. Then you will want to come back. Then you will want to do whatever you can to help.
