BOCA RATON — Mentally and physically challenged kids who participate in the Miracle League were recently treated to a VIP trip to the ballpark.
The kids, some in wheelchairs with breathing tubes, watched the Marlins play the Philadelphia Phillies from the Sun Life Suite at Sun Life Stadium. The Miracle League is a charitable organization that provides children with mental and/or physical challenges with an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league.

Most exciting for the kids, a cameraman filmed the guests in the suite and displayed their pictures on the Jumbotron. For some of the families, this was the first time they had ever been able to go to a Marlins baseball game, as their children’s challenges had prevented them from such outings. The evening was sponsored by Bob Rubin of Rubin Wealth Advisors and Sun Life.
“The Miracle League really works miracles for kids with mental and physical challenges, so it was a privilege for me to be able to give back to this outstanding group in some small way,” said Rubin, the evening’s host. “The delight on the children’s faces as they watched the Marlins game was uplifting for everyone in attendance.
