What? Miracle League of MA's Second Annual Casino Night, AKA the best night ever! Tickets are $50 in advance and $60 at the door.

Where? The Chelmsford Elks Club

When? March 30th, that's a Saturday, at 7 pm.

Why? To raise money for the League, all the funds will go directly to the children of MLM. We just built a new field of dreams this past year and are looking to add bleachers and other enhancements in the near future. Find out more about the work your money does on our website.

How? By going to our ticket website. But if you're still not sure, check our events page.

We hope to see you there!

Player Profile: Henry

"Hammering Hank" is what Rich calls him as he knocks the ball out of the park each game day. Henry, who attends each and every game, is a first grader at Davis School in Bedford (where his classmates include girlfriends Lily and Abigail)! Our resident flirt, Henry spends his weekdays charming his teachers at school. When he's not in school or rounding the bases at MLM, he can often be found out on runs with Dad. In the last year, he's participated in two half marathons, several 5k's, and most recently the Boston Marathon. While Andy does the running, Henry clears the way with a a lot of cheerful "hello's," and a gentle "get out of the way" here or there. It should come as no surprise that Henry loves music, playing games and reading stories on the iPad.

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!

Let's Keep in Touch!

The season has just wrapped up, but that doesn't mean we have to stop seeing each other! Over the entire off season, you can check back here to see what's going on with your friends in the Miracle League, as we introduce our "Get to know..." and "Player Bio" sections. Keep in touch on our Facebook page, stay updated on our Twitter, continue to check the website for events, as well as next season's sign-ups, and be sure to check back here for details on anything and everything Miracle League.

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!
