SPOTLIGHT ON.....
Danielle Kainz, Awesome Miracle League Player
|
|
|
Daniellle Kainz has been an integral part of the Miracle League, having played both 2019 seasons. She loves baseball because she gets to spend time with her lifelong friends, while staying active. Below is a photo of Danielle with some of her good friends: Scott Spolini and Justin Capeheart. Next season, Danielle hopes she can be on the same team as them!
Now that COVID has prevented baseball play (at least for now), Danielle has turned her attention to doing other things that she enjoys. This includes spending time with family, cooking, singing, word searches and a Zoom day program that includes karaoke and choir. What would we all do without Zoom these days?
Danielle has also been fortunate in that she has gone out to dinner with friends and also has gone out to enjoy some frozen yogurt.
Danielle has a number of other hobbies. She enjoys dancing, bowling, shopping and doing art. In addition, she loves worshipping in church. We are lucky to have Danielle in our Miracle League family and look forward to seeing her back out on the ML Field soon!

An update on our Pen Pal Program:
|
|
We currently have 18 new pen pals writing to each other with letters and emails!
According to Jolie Sesky, a freshman at Casa Grande High School, “It's going great and I love getting to know Saphie (Bisordi)!”
Pen Pals Ashley and Alicia are also learning a lot about each other. Alicia Ranney says, “We've just begun and exchanged two letters, but it's already a lot of fun! We've already found a few things in common and Ashley had the great idea to share photos of each other, which makes it really special. This is such a great way to stay connected when we can't be together at The Miracle League Field. I'm looking forward to continuing the friendship!” Her Pen Pal, Ashley Montalvo, loves having a pen pal. She is missing the games, but feels that this is a great way to connect in the meantime.
According to Pen Pal Sammy Coppersmith, “I am getting to know Gunnar (Taylor): what foods he likes, his two dogs, and what he likes to do. In turn, Gunnar is learning about me, my pets, what sports and foods are my favorite, and day to day life.”
If you are a player or volunteer that is interested in having a pen pal and getting to know someone new, please contact us.
Your Pen Pal is waiting.....
