Miracle League of Alexandria Hosts Annual “First Responders” Day Game – September 21, 2024
The Miracle League of Alexandria hosted its annual “First Responders” Day game on Saturday, September 27 at 1 pm at the Kelley Cares Miracle Field. Prior to the game, there was a special 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony in honor of the September 11, 2001 victims and First Responders during that fateful time our country faced.
First Responders from the Alexandria Police, Fire/EMS and Sheriff’s Departments were on hand to participate in the ceremony. The Alexandria Police Honor Guard was present with the colors for the National Anthem.
Following the ceremony, the Police, Sheriff, Fire/EMS become the “Angels In The Outfield” Buddies for the day assisting the players in hitting, throwing, catching and circling the bases. At the conclusion of the game, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (who have volunteered with the MLA now for over 10 years) handed out grilled hotdogs and provided chips, water, and cupcakes to everyone.
The ceremony and game were open free for anyone who came out to support our hero First Responders and our Miracle League players! 9/11… WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
