WHY GOLD? WHY BASEBALL? WHY MILES?

Miles Mortensen was diagnosed with Stage IV neuroblastoma at just 2 years old. Through years of treatment, hospital stays and some incredibly hard days, his loveable personality and infectious smile remained at the center of everything.


Miles passed away on September 11, 2018, at six years old. Smiles for Miles was created in his honor to bring moments of joy, comfort and connection to other children and families facing childhood cancer.


Baseball has always been part of our family's story. Throughout Miles' cancer journey, the baseball community rallied around our family, supported us through the hardest days and continued to stand beside us long after. Today, that community remains an important part of our lives, and of the legacy we continue to build in Miles' name.


September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, represented by the gold ribbon. September also holds deep meaning for our family, as Miles passed away on September 11. 


This September, we're bringing gold, baseball and Miles' legacy together, and seeing how far one Golden Baseball can travel for kids fighting cancer. ⚾️💛

READY TO CATCH IT? ⚾️

Give. Tag three. Throw it on. Let's see how far the Golden Baseball can travel this September!
