FALL 2017 18 | FRONTDOORSMEDIA .COM 2017-18 Tax Credit Directory - Qualified Charity THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF ARIZONA The Miracle League of Arizona’s mission is to offer a safe and successful baseball experience for individuals with disabilities and special health care needs. We aim to eliminate any barriers that may prevent players from participating, to do away with stigmas, to replace isolation with inclusion, and to wash away discouragement with the power of friendship. Each and every player gets to experience success and fun, in an environment where they are welcome and accepted. Our players start at the age of four, and there is no cut-off. Participation is free of cost to families, and each player is given a one- on-one helper, encourager, and friend that we call a buddy. Miracle really do happen at our league, please join us in making them happen. mlaz.org ONE • N • TEN One•N•Ten is Arizona’s oldest and largest nonprofit dedicated to serving and assisting LGBTQ youth and young adults.
