2026 Capital Project – Field Grandstands

The Miracle League of Southwestern Pennsylvania (MLSWPA), founded in 2009 as the first fully accessible baseball field for children and adults with special needs in western Pennsylvania, now serves more than 1,000 athletes, families, and volunteers each year. Located at the UPMC Passavant Sportsplex at Graham Park in Cranberry Township, the Pirates Charities Miracle League Field has become a regional hub for inclusive recreation, community connection, and joyful participation in America’s pastime.

 

To meet growing demand and ensure safe, dignified, and comfortable viewing for all spectators in all weather conditions, MLSWPA seeks $500,000 to construct a permanent, fully accessible grandstand. This investment will provide covered seating and a shelter for our athletes and families, improved sightlines, ADA‑compliant access, and safer circulation—enhancing the game‑day experience and expanding our capacity to host camps, tournaments, and community events. The grandstand is essential infrastructure that will strengthen our long‑term sustainability and deepen our impact for decades to come.

 

Our goals for this exciting project include:

 

Improve accessibility and comfort for families and fans

• Expanded accessible seating options

• Safer, more navigable viewing areas

 

Increase program and event capacity

• Ability to host larger crowds, tournaments, and community events

• Increased regional visibility and partnership opportunities

 

Strengthen long‑term sustainability

• Enhanced donor confidence and sponsorship appeal
