ACCESS of Wilmington / Miracle Field

Community Engagement

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes everyone is a winner. That's the beauty of the partnership between ACCESS of Wilmington and Miracle Field.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington and Accessible Coastal Carolina Events Sports and Services (ACCESS) made everyone a winner at Miracle Field on May, 17 2014. That day, they signed a memorandum of agreement formalizing their relationship.

ACCESS provides accessible recreational activities to people with disabilities. This 33,000-square-foot baseball field is home to Wilmington's Miracle League, which gives people with disabilities opportunities to play baseball.

Under the partnership, UNCW's recreation therapy students gain real-world experience learning how to interact with people of all ages who have a range of abilities. Students bring best practices from the classroom, benefit Miracle League participants while enhancing their learning.
