It's Official: Casey's Clubhouse Ready to Break Ground

After all the hard work of raising money to build a Miracle Field in Upper St. Clair, Casey's Clubhouse has announced it is ready to break ground.

Construction will officially begin on June 9 at Boyce Mayview Park with a ceremonial groundbreaking. Sean Casey and his wife, Mandi, will be on hand, to celebrate the hard work of all the volunteers, sponsors and supporters that made the project become a reality.

The Caseys, of Upper St. Clair, started fundraising to build the field for people with special needs in the fall. Less than a year later, they have raised enough money to build the Miracle Field. Fundraisers will continue to pay for any damage that may happen at the field in the future.

The Miracle Field will be located near the . The complex will have a cushioned, rubberized turf that is completely flat to alleviate barriers for children living with disabilities and children who are blind.

The children's baseball league will be called the Miracle League of the South Hills. The league will have games on six to eight weekends in the spring and the fall months and will be comprised of 10 to 15 teams. 

The Miracle League of South Hills also hopes to make the field available for other organizations when it is not being used by the Miracle League. However, organizations interested in using the field must request permission from the township. 

A playground designed for children with special needs will be constructed behind the outfield at a later date. It will be open for the public to use.
