Miracle League of Frisco

Mission

IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME

The origin of The Miracle League of Frisco is a classic story of "if you build it, they will come." The concept of building a "Miracle Field" was originated when the idea was presented to the City of Frisco leadership in the spring of 2005. The idea was quickly adopted and with the support from the City Council and funding provided by the Community Development Council, construction of the Miracle Field began in the Summer of 2005.

The Mike Simpson Miracle League Field is located within Harold Bacchus Community Park. The custom-designed field incorporates a cushioned synthetic turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other walking assistance devices, while providing a safe atmosphere for children with disabilities to participate and enjoy.

With a field to play on or the "where" in place, the next step was to execute the "how." Within a 90 day period, a group of community leaders which included several current board members, Cacy Saffery, June Taylor and Rich Kaeufer quickly went to work and formed the 501(c)3 organization known as The Miracle League of Frisco. Players and Volunteers were recruited, operating capital was raised and forty baseball players took the field for opening day on April 22, 2006.
