The Miracle League of Arkansas is already looking ahead to summer with a burger-eating, beer-sipping block party on Sunday, May 3, in The Heights.
The nonprofit will host its sixth annual Miracle League Burger Competition with local cooks and pro chefs facing off to compete for top honors and cash prizes. The winner also will secure a “golden ticket” to the World Food Championships in Indianapolis in October.
All along Kavanaugh, attendees can enjoy free sliders from competitors, vote for their favorite, visit the beer tent and listen to live music by the Rock City String Band.
All proceeds benefit Miracle League of Arkansas, a baseball league that serves to empower locals living with disabilities.
“Our goal is to ensure that every child in the state of Arkansas with a special need has an opportunity to play the game of baseball,” former board member and longtime volunteer Darek Braunecker told Soirée in 2019, “but it’s not just about the kids. Miracle League allows families to watch their child participate in something they would never have otherwise had an opportunity to do, to cheer for their kids while they’re being cared for and tended to and having a great time. It’s pretty magical.”
