The newly formed Forsyth County Miracle League visited area parks on Saturday, August 20, at the invitation of the Forsyth County Youth Football Association. Football games were started with Miracle League members participating in the coin toss that kicked off the various games. These special guests then stuck around and enjoyed watching some great youth football.

Young Miracle Leaguer, Stephen, had the honor of conducting the coin toss at a recent Packers game at Midway Park. What a big day it was for Stephen and friends!

Look for future Miracle League events and come support this special group of kids.

About the Miracle League

The Miracle League of Cumming-Forsyth provides physically and mentally challenged children a safe and spirited program in which they can hit, run, and catch on a baseball field – just like other kids. The Miracle League program offers a unique and memorable opportunity that these children would not otherwise have.

The Miracle League of Cumming-Forsyth is a place where every player plays, every player hits, every player gets on base, every player scores, and every player wins – every inning. Players who need help with hitting, catching and throwing the ball are paired with a "buddy" who helps out.

Rainer Maria Rilke, a German lyric poet at the turn of the 20th century, wrote: “This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess.” Watch a Miracle League game from the bleachers and you will be moved as you have never been moved at any other athletic event. It will be unforgettable, and you will be glad you were there. Then you will want to come back. And then you'll want to become involved.
