Suites-n-Treats

We are proud to announce that Mikayla's Voice tied Air Products for FIRST PLACE for the best suite at the IronPigs Charities 4th annual Suites-n-Treats event, Wednesday, October 26, 2011. The event is hosted as a safe and fun trick-o-treating experience for special needs children in the community. Children were able to trick-o-treat, as well as, take part in other activities, which included stopping by and having fun with Mikayla under her "Big Top!"


Over a thousand guests visited Coca-Cola Park for the Halloween event. Thank you, Iron Pigs for allowing MV to take part in such an awesome charitable experience.

Congratulations to MV's Junior Board!

Elevation Celebration Weekend

Rain couldn't dampen the excitement of the day! Children, parents, volunteers and spectators came to CocaCola Park to welcome Michael Glenn to the Lehigh Valley and to enjoy crafts, food and fun. Yes, it rained and no Michael was not able to give tethered rides as he had hoped, but if you watch the slide show below you'll see what a great time was had by all in spite of the weather.




Michael, being an advocate for special needs people, and ever so gracious, he invited everyone back to the park on Sunday to try again! This time, the sun was shining and the smiles even brighter as Michael and his father, Bill, brought out their balloons to the delight of all in attendance. Check out the smiles in the slideshow below.



Thanks to all whom made this event possible!

Iron Pigs Halloween Game

Mikayla's Voice was back at CocaCola Park yesterday for the Iron Pigs Halloween Game. What a spectacular event.





It was a Halloween game, so true to form MV's Junior Board are in costume.



Mikayla hands off the first ball to be played to the umpire.








Each player wore a Halloween jersey, which was later signed and auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for our organization. Throughout the game, spectators bought raffle tickets for players' autographed hats and for a team signed jersey.



This nice gentleman won Ryne Sandberg's hat and he let Mikayla try it on for size!





After the game, those who won shirts or hats went onto the field so the players could autograph the items won.

Many players stuck around to sign autographs for other bystanders. Domonic Brown could not have been more gracious with his autograph and posing for pictures; he even gave one youngster his batting gloves!







Raymond and Nicholas Gara won the team signed jersey.....congratulations guys, and thank you!

Thank you to all whom supported Mikayla's Voice and this event.
