Coastal Alabama Senior Softball team raises funds for Miracle League

The Coastal Alabama Senior Softball Assn. recently partnered with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos minor league baseball team to raise $3,500 for the Miracle League of Coastal Alabama. The Miracle League is in the process of building a field for children and young adults with special needs and other developmental disabilities to play baseball, regardless of their disabilities. The total cost of the project to be built on land donated by the city of Summerdale is estimated at about $2.7 million. More than $ 1 million has already been raised. The Baldwin County facility will be made up of a specialized baseball field featuring a custom-designed synthetic, cushioned and rubberized surface that will eliminate any barriers to wheelchairs, walkers or other mobility devices. The dugouts, restrooms, and drinking fountains will all be handicapped accessible, and work has already started on a boundless playground where children of all abilities are able to play together side by side. More than 800 school-aged public school students alone in Baldwin County will benefit from the park and its amenities.
“With generous donations like this, our development team just surpassed the $1 million mark in funds raised to date. We are very thankful for the support,” said Coastal AL Miracle League Chairman Bruce White.
