Oct 3, 2021 Canton Police 2nd annual Police and Fire softball game with the Miracle League of Plymouth
The Canton Police is having a 2nd annual Police and Fire softball game with the Miracle League of Plymouth. The Miracle League supports children with special needs in their quest to play baseball.
The game is scheduled for Sunday, October 3, 2021 (rain out date is October 10) at 1:00 PM at the Miracle League of Plymouth ball park located at 357 Theodore St, Plymouth MI.
The event is this Sunday, and they’re short both police and fire volunteers. Therefore, the Canton Police asked that I pass along to SCA to see if any of the students would be interested in volunteering for service hours. At the event, volunteers are paired with children to play ball. Service hours can be signed by Mr. Wilsher, Deputy Chief, or with the Miracle League. The details are below. If students are interested, please let me know. I would also need to know their t-shirt size.
This is a fun event, a great cause, and also a positive experience for the SCA students.
If you need more information, or would like to speak directly with Craig, or with the Canton Community Resource Officer, Patty Esselink, please let me know.
