A couple of weeks ago, I met a group of extraordinary people at the Hannah Community Center.

The Spartan Competitive Cheer team was hosting a spaghetti dinner and silent auction there in one of the banquet halls as a fundraiser, but instead of just raising money for themselves, they chose to donate 10 percent of it to a group called Case Cares.

Sounds pretty boring, I know. That's what I thought too going into it. But Case Cares is a nonprofit branch of Case Credit Union dedicated to "making a difference for those in need." Specifically, their goal right now is to build a "Miracle Field," (a baseball field for physically handicapped children) with the help of the Miracle League in Valley Park in Dewitt Township. It's supposed to look something like this one in Alabama:

But you're probably still not thoroughly convinced that this is at all interesting. And it isn't...yet. Because it's who this field is for that makes it significant. It's for people you'd look at twice in a restaurant, but might not think about for the rest of your life. People you feel a passing sympathy for. People you take for granted.
