Miracle League of Ellis County still needs Buddies for Saturday's games. Sign up link is below.

Every player in our lineup has a teammate beside them, and we have spots open for more.

Buddy Up with a Miracle League athlete this weekend. You’ll be their partner for the game, there for the swing, the sprint to first, and the big celebration at home. You bring the encouragement. We’ll handle everything else.

Never played ball? Perfect. Never volunteered before? Even better. Your athlete just wants someone in their corner, and you’ll figure out the rest in the first inning.

Pick a game and sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0e4baba823a1f49-65535979-miracle

Miracle League of Ellis County needs Buddies for tomorrow's games. Sign up link is below.

This weekend is Miracle League Fall Ball, and we need Buddies to join us. A Buddy is a volunteer who teams up with an athlete during the game. You cheer them on, guide them around the bases, and celebrate every swing, every catch, and every run.

Come solo, bring a friend, or bring the whole family. Pick the game that works for your schedule and we’ll take care of the rest.

We were out at the Optimist Baseball Fields in Waxahachie on Saturday morning in support of Miracle League of Ellis County. It was a great morning of Buddying with and cheering on some amazing athletes, handing out toys and candy, and sharing with others about On the Brighter Side!

⚾ Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Come be a Buddy!

Every weekend this season, Miracle League athletes are out on the field, and there’s a spot for you. Pick one Saturday or come back every week. You don’t need baseball experience, and you’ll leave with a full heart and probably a few high fives.

Grab a spot that works for your schedule: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0e4baba823a1f49-65535979-miracle?useFullSite=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawU9tWNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR65RmyZRZiTFjR5Q-qFEqVBeJ6-z7Y99gDq0iRpUbR0RrdJ5iT9VF5-LxgIDQ_aem_dWFOaH8dqqNBzfuBVL-FGA #/

Get in on the action and the fun. We’ll save you a spot on the field!

It may have been a little rainy this past Saturday, but that didn’t dampen the smiles, enthusiasm, and community spirit at OddFest! 🌧️😊

A big thank you to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows - Waxahachie Lodge #80 (Oddfellows #80) for once again inviting On the Brighter Side to be part of this wonderful annual event.
