The major benefactor of this event is the Miracle League of Northampton County
We focus on our local community, helping build a stronger tomorrow for the township as well as it's surrounding areas. That is why we have chosen to donate proceeds to the Miracle League of Northampton County, at Easton Rotary Field located in Palmer Township.
The Miracle League of Northampton County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that has built a barrier free baseball field so children and young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities can play and enjoy the game of baseball. For more information about this organization please visit their website at miracleleagueofnc.org or click the link below.
This race is part of the Annual Palmer Community Day that begins Wednesday night with a under the tent family movie and runs through Sunday (see link below for more details)
