December 1, 2013, 1-3pm, at the McKenney’s, 1 Jingle Lane, Bedford.
We will be stuffing at least 200 bags for the Miracle League of Westchester’s Holiday Party — packaging candy and a large donation from Kohl’s of story books and stuffed animals that Santa will hand out to the kids. We will also be making candy bags for Friends of Karen.
The Miracle League of Westchester is a nonprofit organization created to give Westchester children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. The league was founded in 2005 by J. Stephen Madey. What makes the Miracle League unique is our Miracle Field, specially designed with rubberized, cushioned turf, at Ridge Road Park in Hartsdale. The Miracle Field was funded with a legacy grant from Westchester County and opened in the fall of 2006. As a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, the League survives on the generosity of donors who believe as we do that every child deserves the chance to play baseball. If you’d like to make a donation, volunteer, or get involved, please visit our website, www.mlwny.org
Friends of Karen’s mission is to provide emotional, financial and advocacy support for children with a life-threatening illness and their families, in order to help keep them stable, functioning and able to cope. Since our founding in 1978, we have served approximately 5,000 children and their families. When siblings are counted we have touched the lives of over 12,400 children. Friends of Karen offers many ways to get involved with their mission and support their families. Below are three efforts that are coming up this spring.
