What a Day at Mulligans for Miracles!

A sold out crowd of 32 foursomes enjoyed an amazing day of golf and fun at the inaugural Mulligans for Miracles Golf Tournament presented by Palmetto Primary Care Physicians! Thanks to all our generous sponsors, donors, volunteers and players for coming out to Shadowmoss Plantation Golf Club on a gorgeous autumn afternoon Oct. 23 to raise money for CML!

Volunteers Needed Oct. 23 at CML Golf Tourney!

We’re excited about the first annual Charleston Miracle League Mulligans for Miracles Golf Tournament presented by Palmetto Primary Care Physicians on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Shadowmoss Plantation!

We need some help from our awesome corp of volunteers to help us get things going the day before and day of this fantastic event.

If you’re available on Wednesday, Oct. 22 from about 12 pm to 3 pm (the day before the tournament), we can use your help filling MANY coolers with beverages and ice, and then loading these heavy items into our truck. A lot of energy and the ability to lift 50 lbs or more is essential for “cooler duty,” but we promise a fun time and we’ll even feed you while we work!

Then, on tournament day, Thursday, Oct. 23rd, we need help in two shifts — 9:30 a.m. to about 2 p.m. getting us set up with tables/tents/signage/unloading coolers, etc., and then from about 2 pm to 7 pm during the tournament (which starts at 1:30 pm and finishes with dinner at about 6 pm).  Help us with beverage service during the tourney, set up for the dinner and door prizes, and then takedown/clean up when we’re done at about 7 pm.

If you have a pick up truck that you can bring and assist us with, especially during the 9:30 am to 2 pm shift on tournament day of Thurs, Oct. 23, you’ll become one of our new personal heroes! Pick up trucks all day long will definitely help us out, but especially 9:30 a.m. to 2 pm on Oct. 23rd.

First shift volunteers on tournament day get lunch from The Kickin’ Chicken, and the second shift to help us close gets dinner from Moe’s Southwest Grill!

Golf tournaments are a LOT of fun to volunteer at, so if you can help Charleston Miracle League out on either day, please email [email protected] for more info/let us know when you’re available.

 

 

 

Fall Season Off to a Great Start!

honorguard firstpitch canescheck

We’re off to a great start for the Fall 2014 Charleston Miracle League Season! We have a lot to be thankful for!  The rain held off on both Opening Day Sept. 13 and the games of Week 2 on Sept. 20! At Opening Day, our new friendsTrey and Kelly took time out of their busy pre-wedding schedule to serve as our VIPs to throw out the first pitch to start the Youth League season! We were privileged to have the Air Force Honor Guard officially and ceremoniously open both the Youth League and Adult League seasons at Opening Day by presenting our Nation’s colors. We had another new friend, Mr.  Ronald Sprul, sing our National Anthem at the opening of the adult games. And, as noted on Opening Day, we had Phillip Hilton from Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers present us with a check for $2500! We’ve had two great weeks to start the season, with a great crew of buddies, fans in the stands, concession stand ladies, pitcher, catcher, announcer and umpire! Without all of you we could not offer such a fun day of baseball to our players.

Please spread the word about CML and come back to volunteer!

We have a lot of spaces for volunteers!

Have a great rest of the week and see ya this Saturday, Sept. 27 for Week 3 — it’s Make Up Picture Day if you missed last week!

Evelyn, CML President

Sponsor and Play in the Mulligans for Miracles Golf Tournament!

Friends of The Charleston Miracle League:

This fall, the Charleston Miracle League celebrates its 10th Anniversary of supporting the special needs community of Charleston.

Since that history-making Opening Day in November, 2004, the Charleston Miracle League has continued to grow and thrive because of generous donations from sponsors and benefactors. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we’re thankful for the tremendous financial support provided by many individuals, companies, and organizations since our inception.

In celebration of the first decade of the Charleston Miracle League, we’re hosting the First Annual Mulligans for Miracles Golf Tournament on Oct. 23, 2014 at Shadowmoss Plantation Golf Club. The event features a Captain’s Choice tournament with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start.

Mulligans for Miracles is Charleston Miracle League’s inaugural fall fundraiser, and every dollar in net proceeds goes directly to supporting CML. Money raised at Mulligans for Miracles will enable us to continue to provide our participants with a state-of-the-art facility at Joe Griffith Miracle Field, free registration, free uniforms, all-expenses paid trips for players and their families to see the Atlanta Braves play, as well as many other opportunities for social and physical development.

We hope you are able to contribute to this worthwhile cause with a sponsorship or via a raffle prize donation, and perhaps even put a team together for the tournament.  Details about the tournament, sponsorships and donations, and a team registration form are available on the downloadable forms available via the links at the bottom of this page. If you should have any questions, please send an email to [email protected].

Thank you for your time and consideration, we look forward to hearing from you. With your help, our second decade will make even more miracles!
