There were over 165 registered participants with many more that came out to walk the One Mile with the special needs baseball players. An exhibition game was played immediately after to allow sponsors and participants to see the league’s special needs players play ball.
Moody Miracle League was able to raise almost $25,000 with this 5k event which brings their six- year fundraising efforts to raise around $140,000 toward their $150,000 goal. They are close to being able to get the 17 year-old-field replaced and hope to raise the remaining amount by June 1, the end of spring ball season. This will allow the league to get the new field installed prior to the beginning of their fall ball season.

Opening day for spring ball is March 14. The league can still use buddies and volunteers to assist players, work concession stand and help in other areas during Saturday games.
