We Thank Our Volunteers
Volunteers mean the world to the Miracle League of Northampton County. We could provide the excellent environment to play baseball for our players without them whether they are in the field as buddies, working in the concession stand, announcing, working the video board or sitting at the fan wear table they are all so important.
Every once in a while we get the opportunity to get a group picture of the volunteers and the players. This picture was taken on Thursday night, September 21, 2017, when the golf team from Lafayette College and the Phantom Girls Soccer team were the buddies. We thank them for providing a wonderful experience for our players.
Moondog Baseball Team Donation
From the beginning of the Miracle League of Northampton County, the Moondog Baseball Team has been a very generous support of our League. At our game on September 23, 2017, Turk Starniri and his Moondog colleagues made a check presentation to MLNC Vice President Ric Agretto. In remarks made during the presentation, Turk indicated “The Moondogs manager and players are proud to present a charitable donation check for $2,000 to the Miracle League for use in ongoing operations of the Easton Rotary Field complex. Please use this contribution wisely to enhance the social, emotional and sporting experience of children with intellectual disabilities. The Moondog players and the Palmer Days Seafood Stand sponsors wish to thank you for the opportunity to support and participate in the success of your excellent organization.”
