Over the next few days, we'll be wrapping up this year's event and letting everyone know the amazing work that has been done by all!... Without a doubt, there are many people to thank for making this a reality... And we will 100% be doing that...

But first, let's start with the TOP FUNDRAISERS at each age level for both the Durham Blues Baseball & Softball Club and the Orange County Crushers... Without a doubt, your work has been proved critical to the Miracle League of the Triangle and their important programs... You should each be especially proud of your work over the last few weeks!...

Additionally, and as you may recall, we will be hosting the first ever wiffle ball game on the new field in downtown Durham and these amazing fundraisers will be on the teams!... Unfortunately, we don't yet know the date as construction is on-going... But we'll be touching base with those listed below as soon as we have the details...

Generally, thank you!... Thank you!... Thank you!... This has been an amazing ride and it because of each and everyone of you that we hit our goals... Can't wait until next year!...

Quick Note: The names in red are 3rd place alternates and will participate IF either of the top two fundraisers can't participate...
