On Saturday, May 18th, Brother Martin High School hosted the 13th annual Miracle League “All-Star” Weekend to benefit the Miracle League of GNO. 

During this event, Miracle League participants, along with members of the Brother Martin baseball and football teams, were treated to a baseball clinic and split-squad games (in the Robert M. Conlin Gymnasium because of the weather forecast). Even the rain could not stop the grand slams, stolen bases, laughter, and camaraderie shared by all. 

Students, members of the Brother Martin cheer and athletics teams, and all-stars from the Miracle League enjoyed this wonderful time together. Guests even had the opportunity to purchase Miracle League apparel, enjoy delicious food, and bid on items in a silent auction, all for a great cause. Members of Brother Martin and Miracle League of GNO are looking forward to another “All-Star” Weekend next year!

The mission of the Miracle League of Greater New Orleans and the Miracle League North Shore is to promote the health and well-being of children with disabilities, provide opportunities for able-bodied children to learn about and interact with children with disabilities, and develop community awareness and support for the child athlete with disabilities through organized sports leagues.

The Miracle League is designed to serve kids who cannot be accommodated by established baseball, basketball, and soccer leagues due to the special needs of their disabilities. The vision of the program is to provide any child, regardless of their level of disability, the opportunity to play league sports and enjoy the emotional and physical benefits of being part of a team sport.
