“I enjoy helping others because when I can lend a hand and help out, it's like getting a warm hug inside.”
Paul Zaremba, a 13yr old Miracle League volunteer at our Keith Family YMCA, joins his group of volunteers from the Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School to give children with special needs the time of their lives playing baseball. His spirit for volunteering shows how serving others can leave an impact on you!
“Putting a smile on someone’s face or even just hearing them say “thank you” really made me realize that even the smallest gestures matter. I think of it as paying it forward, because maybe one day when I need help someone will be there for me.”
He goes on to say: “The Miracle League is a great program and I love the community of support it has formed. I truly do love helping them because it brings a sense of fulfillment and joy into my life.”

"Working with special needs kids just does something to your heart and soul.”
Members of the leadership team from Carolinas Telco Federal Credit Union recently volunteered as player buddies with our Keith Family YMCA Miracle League team. This was their second time volunteering with the program, and it won't be their last!
Megan Snyder, VP of Learning, Organizational Development and Operations, shared why they love volunteering with this program. “They are some of the purest human beings, and I was lucky to support them. You can see they love the interaction and have fun with it, which makes it worth it all."
