Our Mission & Vision
The Miracle League of SECT provides opportunities for children throughout Southeastern Connecticut with physical, cognitive, and developmental challenges to participate in recreational, educational, and cultural activities in an accessible, nurturing and non-competitive environment where families can come together to cultivate new friendships and experience the joy of play.
See what we’ve accomplished with the help of our community
We’ve joined forces with Miracle League of CT to build Miracle League Field – an accessible sports field serving families from Guilford to Pawcatuck. Phase II & III are in the stages of fundraising right now! Phase II will be the construction of a fully accessible playground, and Phase III will be an accessible restroom plus storage area.
Every child deserves a chance to play!
Here’s just a few numbers to show you a little about us.
