Our participants begin at age 3. We offer eleven sports including tee ball, kickball, soccer, and basketball, to name a few. All children  are provided full uniforms, equipment, awards, and celebrations . We are an all volunteer organization, no one gets paid a salary and all funds are distributed among the sports programs to offset overruns and provide supplemental insurance. We fundraise year round and rely on grants, sponsorships, donations to help provide a healthier lifestyle to a more sedentary population. Miracle League was established in 2005, by Raul and Sandie Olivar after watching a program on HBO Sports. Sandie and Raul were active members of a volunteer organization at A T &amp;T and after thirty years of employment Sandie used her retirement money to start the programs. Miracle League began with tee ball and baseball and has steadily added other sports to the league. The athletes play on teams  in a league setting with \u201cbuddies\u201d (volunteers from high school or college or community members) assigned to players needing the added assistance to make the game a great experience foe the player. Some of our sports teams participate in Special Olympics competitions locally and at the state level. Our players are asked to pay a $25 registration fee per sport and we handle the rest. Many of our players are unable to pay but they play just the same. We collaborated with the Junior League of El Paso and raised 1.5 million dollars building a specially designed baseball field and complex for our participants. We play as many of our sports on the rubber field and include athletes using mobility devices. <\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $204,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Sundt Foundation $5,000, El Paso Community Foundation $50,000,  WalMart Foundation $35,000, Other fundraising $100,000, GECU Foundation 3,000, local corporations $6,000, concession revenue $5,000<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: January 2025-November 2025<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: West Texas and Southern New Mexico <br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 3-21 yeqrs old <\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Ms.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Sandie<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Olivar<br \/>\nContact Title: Volunteer Executives Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 9157401253<br \/>\nContact Email: miracleleagueofelpaso@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: El Paso\u2019s Miracle League Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Miracle League of El Paso Mailing Address: 432 White Cloud Rd City: El Paso State: Texas Postal Code: 79928 Main Phone: 9157401253 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.miracleleagueofelpaso.org Employer ID Number: Organization Tax Status: 20-2275859 Proposal Information [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4678"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4679,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4678\/revisions\/4679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
