Pro Feet Launches Miracle Sock

Pro Feet has designed the new “Miracle Sock,” which offers moisture-wicking technology with a portion of proceeds directly benefitting the Miracle League organization. The Miracle Sock carries the Miracle League logo and is being sold in men’s, women’s and youth sizes at sporting good retailers and team dealers nationwide. For every pair sold, Pro Feet is donating five percent of its wholesale sales to the Miracle League.

“There are millions of kids with physical and mental disabilities who often are not given the opportunity to participate in a team sport,” says Russell Wilson, founder and CEO of Pro Feet. “At Pro Feet, we believe every child deserves the chance to be part of a team. That’s why we’re launching the ‘Miracle League Campaign.”

The Miracle League, a national baseball league for children with disabilities, serves 80,000 young people with physical and mental challenges. Currently, there are 200 Miracle League organizations and 100 rubberized fields throughout the country. However, the Miracle League hopes to build 500 fields and have a Miracle League in every city, with the goal of serving 1.3 million children.

Some retailers will be doing more than simply carrying the Miracle Sock in their stores. Many will also be collecting donations, all of which will go to that store’s local Miracle League team or to the national Miracle League organization, and signing up teams of “buddies” to assist in Miracle League games.
