Ground Breaking on final phases
Construction has begun on phases 2 and 3 of the Miracle Park!!! It is on track to open early 2026.
Today we celebratied with athletes, friends, donors, elected officials, Winthrop and MaxAbilities staff, and the Lt. Governor of SC! We heard from Representative Heath Sessions about what the park means to him and his family as a dad of two boys that have different abilities, Warren Norman, developer and what's to come, President Edward Serna on the connections with Winthrop, Mayor John Gettys spoke about how the park benefits the people of Rock Hill and beyond, and US Representative Ralph Norman invited us to come together to break the ground to start to build the final phases!
Lucas McFadden with CN2 was there to capture the day.

Meet Sullivan - our Youth Volunteer of the Season for Fall 2024!
Sullivan Williams is 8 years old. She is a 3rd grader at Cherry Park Elementary. Sullivan heard about Miracle League from her mom Whitney who used to work at CampArc, a camp for children and adults with disabilities run by the City of Rock Hill's Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department. Sullivan has just been waiting to be old enough to volunteer!
A Buddy Training was held at Cherry Park Elementary, and Sullivan attended. She came to the first game this season and was paired with Ellie, who also attends Cherry Park Elementary. The pairing was a homerun! ;) Sullivan and Ellie have been buddies on the ball field every week since that first game, but that's not where it ends. Sullivan has attended gymnastics with Ellie, volunteers in her classroom at school, and has made the two of them "best friend bracelets." She hopes to continue having play dates with Ellie even after the season has ended.
Sullivan loves volunteering at Miracle League so much that she also buddies on Wednesday nights for the adult games. She said, "Some people make fun of others when they don't understand disabilities. They can't help that they have a disability. I want other people to know that they are amazing, know how to have fun, and want friends, too!" Sullivan's mom, Whitney said, "When we help others, it helps us! Volunteering at Miracle League together has given both of us an outlet this season that has blessed us both!"
