Help Make Dreams Reality

Thank you!  All of you! All of our supporters! Because of you 2012 was a major success!  We held our first 5K, our first family fun day, and, with your help, built the first handicap-accessible field in the state, our field of dreams!  Fall marked our first season there, and boy was it a blast!

It's Giving Time

It's that time of year again!  Time to spread the love!  Whether you're looking to donate to a local non-profit or just trying to finish your holiday shopping online, you should consider us, the Miracle League of Massachusetts. Every penny goes straight to our players and the game!  We provide children of all ages with the chance to play baseball, at no cost to their families.  Furthermore, with your help in past years, we were able to raise enough money to build our own miracle field!

We've called it a wrap on 2012, but you can check us out in Acton this Spring! Stay tuned for dates and times.

To donate directly to our organization, check out our website! Checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 524 in Acton, MA 01720.

Just finishing your online holiday shopping?! How about doing some good while you browse!  You can donate to us without adding a penny to your online orders.  Just shop through GoodSearch.  Type in "Miracle League of Massachusetts" and add your email.  Then, proceed with your online shopping right through the GoodSearch website.  A portion of your order will be donated directly to us.  And GoodSearch has a ton of vendors to choose from like Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, and so much more! You can do this all year, but why not get started now!?

Get to Know...Buddy Meg

Meg is one of our favorite volunteers. She's been with the League through two wonderful seasons. When she's not on the field, she attends Acton Boxborough Regional High School where she's a sophomore. This super active buddy is also a standout athlete on her field hockey and softball teams. And when she wants to wind down, she spends time at her vacation home on the Cape! Let's get to know buddy Meg!

Third Annual Bowling Party!

Finally, we're all hoping for strikes! We've got a bowling date set up for March 3rd, with spots still available. The event is free and includes one game, shoe rentals, pizza and drinks. (Ain't no party like an MLM party!) Interested? Email Lauren at miracleleagueofma@yahoo.com.

Who? Our MLM family

What? The 3rd Annual Bowling Party

Where? Bowladrome in Acton

When? March 3rd at noon

Why? Because we haven't seen each other in a while, we need to catch up, we love getting together with friends (stop us now, this list could go on forever!)

Please remember that spots are limited, so you need to email Lauren (miracleleagueofma@gmail.com) to reserve one. We hope to see you there!

Get To Know...Coach Steve

We know him as fun-loving Coach Steve, who assigns us to our players or buddies each week and coaches us in our positions and at bat. You also might notice him slinking about the field, taking some of the best pictures a baseball league has ever seen (your baseball cards were made from his stunning pictures!). But, what you definitely notice him for is being quite the exact opposite of a belly itcher, he's one of our favorite pitchers!

But there's so much more to Coach Steve! His beautiful wife Donna has been with him for 18 years and they have two girls; Julia (11) and Sarah (9). The Northeastern U. alum grew up in Tewksbury but has lived in Maynard for the past 12 years where he works as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the Winchester Schools. Ever the runner and of course naturally the photographer (was he born with a camera in that hand?), Steve, Coach Steve, is one of MLM's best assets! (And, he's a life long Red Sox and Boston sports fan! Just the way we like our volunteers!)
