The magic of the holidays is something that is felt all around the world. It's a time when people come together to celebrate and spread joy and cheer. There is a certain warmth in the air during the holiday season, as families gather around the fireplace, children eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus, and the streets are adorned with twinkling lights and festive decorations. One of the most magical things about the holidays is the sense of wonder and excitement that is felt by both young and old. It's a time when anything feels possible and dreams can come true. It's a time when miracles happen and love and kindness are celebrated.

The Miracle League of Southwestern PA (MLSWPA) was formed in January 2009 by Cranberry resident Mike Sherry with a mission to make dreams come true for children and adults with disabilities who desire to play ball just like their brothers, sisters, and friends.
The focus is placed on fun, rather than competition, with the belief that finding joy, friendships, and a sense of accomplishment on the ball field are more important than sports skills or winning games.
Currently, the Miracle League of Southwestern PA provides an opportunity for over 500 children and adults with disabilities to play baseball in a safe, supportive environment with the support of 400 volunteer Buddies. The league has two seasons each year – a Spring season and a Fall Ball season – consisting of eight weeks of games played on Saturday mornings. In addition, they offer a Summer Camp program for their players.
“The Miracle League of Southwestern PA is proud to partner with Mr. Magic Car Wash. Their help and support are greatly appreciated,” said Mike Sherry, President and Founder
Peoples Park – Moon Township
The newest Miracle Field in the area, the Miracle League of Moon Township, was founded by Mike and Christina Magulick in honor of their youngest son born with a rare genetic disorder. As a volunteer coach at the Miracle League of South Hills, Mike wondered about the likelihood of building a field in their own neighborhood to offer people of all abilities a safe place to play and be a part of a team. He and his wife Christina organized the first meeting to consider building the Moon Township facility in February of 2017. After many delays due to COVID, the Miracle League of Moon Township’s Inaugural Season started on Saturday, May 15, 2021, with their son as the first official ball player.
The Miracle League’s motto is “Every child deserves a chance to play baseball.” That chance becomes a reality for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities in the form of an inclusive baseball league. The Miracle League gives these special athletes, that would normally be excluded from or unable to participate in team sports, the chance to experience the joy of America’s favorite pastime.
