History of The Miracle League of the Triangle
In Late in 2004, after seeing a program about the Miracle League on television, local businessmen
Robin Rose and Tony Withers were inspired to establish the Miracle League of the Triangle.
The principle was simple: to provide children with special needs the
opportunity to play America's Favorite past-time.... the game of Baseball.
The hope was to have 40 children (4 teams) and over 100 volunteers for Opening
Day.
On September 16, 2006 The Miracle League of the Triangle opened its first season with over 100 players
(8 teams) and over 200 volunteers from throughout the Triangle.
On April 14, 2007 we proudly celebrated both the dedication of our field* to our Founding Field Sponsor
"Andy's Foundation" and our growth to over 160 children (12 teams) with over 300 volunteers.
Currently we have over 200 players (18 teams) and over 500 volunteers. We encourage you to come be a part of our history
as we grow and touch more and more lives.
*Our field: Through tremendous local community support and a close partnership with the Wake County Public School System, the
children play on a state of the art, custom fitted field at
Adam's Elementary School, conveniently located near I-40 off Cary Towne Boulevard, Cary.
