The 2025 Community Campaign was a hit out of the park! We successfully raised over $34,000 for The Miracle League of Green Bay. The fundraising week featured a variety of exciting events, including grab bags, a 52-Club breakfast, bagels, a bake sale, a dunk tank, prize baskets, pull tabs, a carnival, and many more fun activities!

Green Bay, WI

In Green Bay, we supported The Miracle League of Green Bay. They provide kids aged 4 to 19 with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member, wearing real uniforms in an organized league, regardless of their capabilities. Miracle League baseball is played on a custom-designed field featuring a cushioned, rubberized, completely flat surface to prevent injuries and allow access for the visually impaired and those in wheelchairs. All areas of the field, including the dugouts and restrooms, are universally accessible.
