They enjoy the bounce, slide, photo booth, chocolate, the Balloon Man, face painting, music, and food. But the highlight was the visit from Santa who made a special trip from the North Pole. A great time was had by all.
This past Saturday night (October 20, 2018) over 300 players and their families came to our field in costume for the Miracle League of Northampton County’s annual Trick or Treat night sponsored and managed by the Lehigh Valley Yankee Fan Club. This is the sixth year the Club has put on this great event and we thank the Yankee Fan Club for everything they do for us. We also thank the 50 organizations and businesses who participated in this year’s event. Their booth themes, creativity in design and costumes were absolutely fantastic. Many of them have spent weeks before this event designing and building to their theme.

WE THANK ALL OF THOSE WHO MADE THIS SUCH A GREAT EVENT!!!!

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.
Turk Starnini of the Moondogs Senior Baseball Team presents a check to MLNC President Jennifer Dietrick. At the 2018 Palmer Community Days festival, the Moondogs had a food tent worked by many of their players. The donation was the results of the hard work on some really hot days. We thank Turk and his players for their continued support of MLNC.
