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.
