On September 15, 2018, Board member Bob Lammi visited the Knights of Columbus in Bangor to accept a donation to MLNC. Each year the Knights of Columbus hold car washes with the proceeds going to a non-profit. This past summer the Knights held a car wash with the proceeds being donated to our league. We thank the Knights for choosing us for this year’s donation. At the presentation, Lammi gave the group an overview of the MLNC on what we do.
As reported by Amanda Sechrist on MLNC’s Facebook page – On September 14-16, 2018 the Youngkin Family and MLNC Co-Director Amanda Sechrist attended the first ever All-Star National Miracle League Event in Findlay, Ohio! It was an awesome event as 90 Miracle Leagues across the US and Canada came together to play baseball, join in a mixer and attend a gala. Tyler Youngkin was successful at all three at-bats, enjoyed his first plane ride, pumped up the crowd at the event and received many goodies from the Miracle League!!! Thank you to all who made this a wonderful experience for a very deserving family! Click on any of the images to enlarge it.
