Our Story

The Miracle League of Northern Indiana grew out of a dream from Dick Pfeil, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the father of two adult children with cerebral palsy, he understood the barriers people with disabilities face. After discovering a Miracle Field in Florida, he was inspired to create one in his own community.
