Sportsman’s Expo, recently made a $6,000 donation to Project Miracle League.
“From the very beginning, (Barnes) wanted to do more than just bring a top notch sportsman’s event to our area, he also wanted to create a way to give back to his community,” Barbara Tyler, Miracle League committee member, said of the donation, which came from a percentage of the ticket sales to the event.
“The Project Miracle Team is very appreciative of this contribution, and all the other businesses, civic groups, foundations, and individuals who have contributed to this very important project,” she said.
