fundraising efforts will benefit the following

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Miracle League. Our players will also have an opportunity to volunteer and assist other young ballplayers with disabilities during their baseball games.

“The Miracle League” is a charitable organization that provides children and adults with disabilities an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. There is something about playing the game of baseball that lights up youngsters’ eyes, but for those with disabilities, that opportunity can often be a difficult first step. The Miracle League provides these individuals the opportunity to get out in the sunshine and enjoy playing the game of baseball in its purest form.

Remaining proceeds will go towards supporting our Raptors/Raptors Select Players and teams!
