MYO and the Mason Challenger League partnered with the City of Mason as well as the Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation to raise funds to build the Adaptive Ball Fields at Makino Park. These fields are a reality through the generosity of companies and community members like you. Thank you for making a lasting impact to the Challenger athletes.
