Thank You Jeff Wyler -- 40,000 times!
We are delighted to add Jeff Wyler and his automotive group to a small but growing list of extrordinarly genereous contributors. Jeff recently visited the Fields and shorthly after sent a check to the Fairfield Community Foundation for the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields for $40,000!
The depth of his generosity is uncommon and we promise him dividends in the form of smiles and delight as challenged athletes from around the area take to the fields this summer.
Thank you Jeff!

Pictured above, front row, left to right: Cliff Bown,
Harley Bown, Tim Bown. Back row, left to right:
Curt Kellums (holding Jax Kellums), Scott Kellums.
When Kim Nuxhall talks about "The Bown Train", he's making a heartfelt reference to a family
of such extraordinary generosity and skill that it's difficult to measure. Cliff Bown and his family
and crew have been a critical part of the construction of the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields.
Their contributions of time and talent will enrich the lives of countless kids and their parents
for many generations to come
Thank you Bown family!

LSI Lighting super surprised eveyone at Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields when they offered to provide all the lighting needs at the complex, but when they also offered to provide an LED scoreboard -- we were, and we continue to be, flabbergasted at their generosity.

Thanksk to Ross Sferra and the whole crew at LSI, kids who maybe thought they's never get a chance to play baseball will now get a chance to see their face and name up in lights just like they do in the big leagues.
Thank you LSI!
