Sponsor Highlight: Sturgis Beaty Insurance Group LLC

Sturgis Beaty Insurance Group was a sponsor of the Golfing for Good fundraiser in 2020


"Sturgis Beaty Insurance Group LLC is humbled to sponsor the greatest sports program in our area. Every person at our agency has coached and played sports so this program excites us knowing kids that couldn’t participate now have a program to create their own memories. We encourage our community to participate in sponsoring this program and we are thankful to the board and volunteers that made this possible."  -Tim Sturgis

Featured Future Miracle Park Athlete - Tina




My name is Tina Cook.  I am 35 years old, and I like to swim, bowl and play bocce.   I am excited for Miracle Park to open so I can play on the playground and on a sports team.  When I was little, I watched my brother play on sports teams with his friends, and I always wanted to do that too.  Now I will be able to play on a team with my friends.  AND……I can have my fans cheering for me in the crowd!

Can you help us support Tina and all others excited to be at this park?  Do to unseen hurdles associated with stay-at-home orders our fundraising has be effected tremendously!  We need $2,000,000 to be able to build out all of Phase 1 like we want to, which means we need your help and commitment.  Go to www.miracleparkrockhill.com to find out how you can help.

Sensory area concept




We are so excited about the Sensory Area of our park! This will be right outside the concessions and main restroom building. All five senses will be featured. The tactile wall will feature different textures to stimulate the sense of touch and will have specific features to represent elements of a field and sports equipment for those not quite ready to join a team. The auditory wall will have carefully chosen pieces to make a variety of sounds. All the colors in the area and in our logo are based on how the brain responds to color; for example, yellow is the first color recognized by the brain, and blue produces a calming effect. We will have a sensory garden for the senses of taste and smell. Plants will be pleasant to smell and safe to taste. Finally, there will be a sensory pathway that will be available to all. We hope that therapists will also use this pathway to bring their clients to the park to allow families to enjoy the park together while doing therapy outside! The photos above are some inspirational photos and early renderings of the area. We can’t wait to see our ideas become reality!

BUT, we still need $4,000,000 in funding ($4,000,000 already raised) to finish the job!  Can you help by donating today?  https://www.miracleparkrockhill.com/donations

Sponsor: Stevenson & Weir

Concrete is the cornerstone material in foundations and structures and community service is the cornerstone of building great communities. Fortunately, we at Stevenson-Weir, Inc. have this amazing opportunity to gift our products, materials and equipment for community service to enhance our great City of Rock Hill with supporting the development of Miracle Park. 

Coined the “Green Team” due to our vibrant green color and our team approach to providing service we equally value hard work ethic as well as play.  Although play is often thought of as a “child’s job” it is vital in all stages of life.  Learning through play increases social and cognitive learning as well as functional abilities.  Individuals with mental and physical disabilities are not afforded appropriate avenues to enhance development. Miracle Park will provide the framework for inclusion for all abilities to play, develop, socialize, learn from each other and work!  We are PROUD to partner with other local businesses and individuals to bring Miracle Park to fruition to find JOY together through PLAY for ALL citizens with ALL abilities.
“The Green Team”
Stevenson-Weir, Inc
We are SO blessed to have Stevenson-Weir, Inc. as a Major sponsor at the Miracle Park, please take the time to thank them for their support and partnership with us. 

We still need more funding...can you be our next sponsor?  https://www.miracleparkrockhill.com/donations

Featured Future Miracle Park Athlete - Emily




My name is Emily Saverance; I am 34 years old, and I LOVE sports!  I have played on golf teams, soccer teams, bowling teams, bocce teams and swim teams.  I have competed at the local, state, national, and world levels for swimming and bowling.  I am looking forward to the sports that will be played at Miracle Park, but I am really excited that they will be hiring people with disabilities to work there.  I am a hard worker and worked at a bakery for over 10 years until they closed down.  I hope to be hired there so I can earn my own money, be independent and work with people in our community.

We still need $4,000,000 to complete phases 2 and 3 of the park, can you support the park today?  www.miracleparkrockhill.com
