Miracle League of Alexandria Donates Toys to the ADRPCA Therapeutic Recreation Children for the Holidays
The Miracle League of Alexandria (MLA) donated toys to the participants/Miracle League players of the Therapeutic Recreation Program at the Nannie J. Lee Memorial Recreation Center on December 15, 2023.
The holiday toy’s donation drive was led by Laura Fries, MLA Board Member, who organized and solicited for donations. Overall, the MLA collected enough toys that provided each child with multiple toys each. Following the distribution of the toys the Miracle League hosted a pizza party for them. Special thanks to Laura and husband, Jack, Bill Rivers of the MLA and the awesome TR staff who work with the children for making this special holiday party successful.
Laura stated “I was working with Volunteer Alexandria’s Toys 4 Tots program this holiday season. It occurred to me that nobody does a toy drive for our special needs kids in our community, so, guess what? I decided that on very toy drive. I spoke with Therapeutic Recreation staff and got a wish list, which was pretty modest. I created an easy shopping list on Amazon and with donations we were able to fulfill their wish list”.
Mac Slover, MLA Chair stated “Thanks to Laura for taking on this wonderful holiday project. Laura is incredible as she did a great job getting the toys for the TR children. She created an easy way for people to donate and received a terrific response. We are glad the Miracle League has been able to help with this community project. Our program is not just about playing baseball, but what we can do for the special needs community. Community outreach activities like this is what we’ve done very well with in the past and will continue into the future”.
Below are some pictures from the holiday party.

Devon Brown Represents the Miracle League of Alexandria at National Miracle League All-Star Games in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“What a great weekend in West Palm Beach with our Miracle League player, Devon Brown at the National Miracle League All-Star games, November 3 – 5” stated Mac Slover, Chair of the Miracle League of Alexandria. “I am so proud of Devon, one of our longest participating adults in the Miracle League of Alexandria program. Devon did a great job in the homerun derby contest and playing in the all-star game for the Ray’s team.” His mother, Althea Brown, was able to travel with Devon down as well as some of his family members from Florida were able to watch him play. One of the MLA’s newest donors (Sheri and Mark), who live in Del Ray Beach, Florida even came up the cheer Devon on!!!!
Friday night was the opening ceremony at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter. Prior to the parade of teams, the players were able to meet baseball Hall of Famer, Johnny Bench – the greatest catcher ever! Devon was Ray’s flag bearer during the parade and was so proud to be selected. All the players, league directors and parents were provided free food and ice cream prior to a game between the Miracle League Cardinals and Marlins all-star teams.
Saturday, Devon participated in the Homerun Derby Contest hitting very well but came just short of hitting a homerun on the modified field. Devon and his teammates on the Ray’s played a fun and exciting game against the Yankees Saturday afternoon. Devon hit well and lived up to his nickname of “Speedy” as he circled the bases for a homerun each time to many spectators cheering him on. (Every hit is a homerun for each player). Devon had a good time playing in the outfield with his “Angel in the Outfield” Buddie. He is a terrific athlete and has a very strong arm.
Saturday night concluded the festivities for the day as we attended the annual awards ceremony at the Wellington International Equestrian Center in Wellington. We were served a buffet dinner and desserts before all the players were honored with their awards. It was a wonderful end to an awesome day!
Sunday, the weekend concluded with Breakfast with Homer, the Mascot for the Miracle League. Devon was very excited to be able to sit and eat with Homer.
Slover stated “I am so proud our Miracle League has been to be able to provide our participants and their families the opportunity to experience playing baseball with 120 other Miracle League participants from all over the USA, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico. It also allows our parents to be able to meet and talk with other parents from around the country too who have special needs children or adults. It is a great avenue to the parents and me to share resources. It is quite an experience for them and me. This was the fifth year for the National Miracle League All-Star games (except for 2020 – due to Covid). Thus far, we have taken our youth to the games in Findley, Ohio, Sioux City, Iowa, Houston, Tx., Murfreesboro, Tenn., and now in West Palm Beach.”
“Again, I am once again a proud league director who was able to see another one of our participants achieve success, feel really great about what they have accomplished and to have the experience of a lifetime playing baseball. Way to go Devon!” Slover concluded.
The National Miracle League All-Star game will be held in Newton County, Georgia (outside Atlanta), October 4 – 6, 2024.
