"Buddy"/Volunteer
Making a
difference by volunteering your
time
The Miracle League of Michigan
has come to Southfield. The
league has a variety of
volunteer opportunities. By
giving only a few hours of your
time not only will you make a
difference in a special child’s
life, but you will also create a
positive awareness in yourself.
One of the most important parts
of The Miracle League is the
“buddy” system – pairing each
player with an able bodied
friend to assist them on and off
the field during a two inning
game. Guidance is generously
offered by coaches, organization
leaders and family members. We
are looking for people who are
willing to donate their time, a
little or a lot, to help us out
in this capacity. Buddies can
be fellow schoolmates, parents,
college or high school students,
athletes, business leaders, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts or any
individual or group who wishes
to volunteer their time to give
the child the gift of baseball
and a smile that touches us all
There are only a few rules that
govern our program. Individuals
must be 12 years or older.
Enthusiasm and compassion is
key. We offer affidavits for
anyone who needs to meet
requirements for volunteer
hours.
Become a “buddy” and you will be
captivated by how much you are
needed and cherished by the kids
and their families. We do not
look upon our kids as
handicapped but as friends.
Volunteering doesn’t have to be
a full time job, and can be
flexible to fit your schedule. If you or
your group is interested in
becoming an integral part of our
“buddy” program please feel free

Thank you in advance for
considering the donation of your
time to help others.
