• The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation helps fund new Miracle League of the Triangle field
• Participating families in Orange and Durham counties have a new field closer to home
• The first-in-class field accommodates various disabilities for children to safely enjoy sportsmanship

The Miracle League of the Triangle expanded into Durham with the opening of the Durham Bulls Miracle League Field to serve children and adults with disabilities, with key support from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation to make the new field a reality.   

 

“Everyone deserves to experience the excitement and comradery that sports bring. Through the great work of the Miracle League of the Triangle and its partners, many more special needs individuals in the Western side of the Triangle will be able to enjoy a first-class facility right in their backyard,” said Rusty Harris, Vice President and General Manager of Dominion Energy's natural gas business in North Carolina. “We are honored to contribute to such a meaningful endeavor.”

The new field is located in the heart of downtown Durham and across the street from the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Prior to the opening of the new field in Durham, The Miracle League of the Triangle only had facilities in Wake and Chatham counties and saw the need for families in Durham and Orange counties to have a field that was more conveniently located so driving distance wouldn’t be a barrier. The custom-designed field also accommodates for different mobility limitations for participants to play safely. 

The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation contributed $100,000 to the fundraising effort, which was spearheaded by The Miracle League of the Triangle, in association with the Durham Bulls and Capitol Broadcasting Company.
