About the Grand Strand Miracle League & Mike Pruitt Scholarship Fund
During the past 16 years, our players and coaches have devoted a great deal of time to the Grand Strand Miracle League, a baseball league for individuals with special needs. We also support the work of the Mike Pruitt Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships for underprivileged kids ages 8-12 to attend the CCU Youth Baseball Camp. The funds from this auction will greatly benefit the children involved. When we act together as the CCU baseball community, our efforts can make a real difference.
