"See You Later" not "Goodbye"

We've had so many great times this season! And now, as the season comes to a close, we can reflect on all of those great memories. Most recently we had Trophy Day when all of our favorite players received trophies for their hard work all season long, and pictures (thanks Coach Steve!) to remember it by. A week prior we also had to bid an early but fond "see you later" to Dan, who had all eyes on him as he received his trophy. We all definitely remember when Lily ran the bases so fast and kept running, right out of the field! Who could forget the Leslie Dance, Justin's national anthem, Skylar's "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", or Josh's beatboxing? Certainly no one missed Double Trouble charging the mound or the Fantastic Four loading the bases for a grand slam! We've had the volunteers show pride in their work by Celebrating Volunteerism and pledging on the Patriots' site. And we even had some new volunteers this year, with some of the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (and a few adults) from St. John the Evangelist School in Beverly, Mass. coming in on one fine Saturday. (Thank you! We'd love to see you all again!) We had a great time together at Casino Night and raised a ton of money towards the turf field! (Check out a live tally on our website.) Long story short, we've had the most amazing season and can't wait for the Spring. But until then, we encourage you to share your favorite memories below. We didn't even come close to mentioning everything we loved about the season, so please help us out!

1st Annual Casino Night was a Success!!!

Thank you to all of you who made it to our First Annual Casino Night! It was a raging success. We nearly sold out! And, we made over $20,000!! All thanks to the great supporters of Miracle League of MA, we are well on our way to our goal of building the Miracle League field! For those of you who made it, you know it was "all for the kids" (haha thanks Rich!) but we'd also like to thank everyone behind the scenes who helped make it happen. Thanks to all the volunteers, before, during, and after the event, the planners, the caterers, and those who generously donated prizes, time, money, and drinks!

For those of you that missed it, you can check out pictures here. But, all of you should plan on attending next year's Second Annual Casino Night!

Again, thank you to all attendees and volunteers!

With all the fun and excitement of the night, we urge you to keep in mind that not only can you win these fantastic prizes and have a night filled with fun, but you are also doing it for the children of Miracle League of MA.  In all of the fun you'll be having, you are making these kids' dreams come true.  They already have a great time on Saturday mornings playing baseball with their buddies, but a turf field will improve that enjoyment ten-fold, and all of you that attend Casino Night are helping to make that happen.  So, thank you!
