Never fear, the deets on October 1st are here!!

You've already marked your calendar for October 1st, to participate in a "Running with Henry" event at the West Acton Oktoberfest.  The "Running with Henry" program is designed to raise awareness of the Miracle League, give our athletes the chance to participate in mainstream events, and to raise money for our program!  Well now, we've got the details on the event: 

Who?  All of you, you're all invited!  Unfortuantely the event runs at the same time as our Miracle League games, but we've got enough athletes and buddies that we can do both!!  To sign up go

What? A 5K at the West Acton Oktoberfest, beginning at 10 AM. 

Where? The race begins at Gates School in Acton.

When?  The race begins at 10, but registration begins at 8.  We will be meeting at the backstop for the softball field at 9:30.

Why?  Well, besides getting fit and the general adrenaline rush that accompanies any race, you're also giving the children of Miracle League the chance to compete in a mainstream sporting event.  You're spreading the word of Miracle League and bringing the community and our organization closer together!  

What we need is athletes, buddies, and jogging strollers.  If you would like to run with or without an athlete, or as an athlete, please don't forget to list "Miracle League of MA" as your charity to see $5 of the $25 registration fee go directly to our organization!  If you'd like to run with an athlete, as an athlete, or lend a jogging stroller, please don't forget to contact Lauren prior to the race day!

So pencil it in, October 1st at 10 AM, "Running with Henry" event in Acton!  And, don't forget to list "Miracle League of MA" as your charity to ensure that $5 of your registration fee is donated to the organization.  As most of you know, we are trying to build a turf field for our special players, and every penny helps!!

Not interested in running, but still want to help out? Other ways to donate can be found here. Volunteer and new player forms can be found here.

Thank you all for your help and generosity!  We appreciate all of you!
