Senator Maria Collett attended Miracle Field of Horsham’s “Diamond Night” fundraiser on Saturday night and presented the organization with a ceremonial check in the amount of $500,000 toward the development of land at Deep Meadow Park and the construction of a rubberized turf “Miracle League” field with accessible bullpens and other innovative features that accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries.
“Bringing a state-of-the-art Miracle League field to Horsham will send a loud and clear message to local individuals with disabilities and the people who love and care for them,” said Senator Collett. "It will say 'we see you,’ 'you matter’ and 'you are welcome here.’ I am glad I was able to work with Governor Wolf to secure funding from the state for such a worthy project, and I can’t wait to witness the joy it brings to the people of the 12th District and beyond.”
“The $500,000 grant, combined with the $250,000 raised by Miracle Field of Horsham to date, puts us in a position to start work,” Horsham Township Manager William Walker added.
The Miracle League is a national nonprofit with over 300 local affiliates across North America whose mission is to bring the joy of baseball/softball to individuals with mental and physical disabilities.
