For 15 years, Miracles for Kids has proudly partnered with Stars & Stripes, traveling each year with donors, board members, and Miracles’ families to create unforgettable memories and support a noble cause.

About the Stars & Stripes Children’s Foundation:
Named after the children it helps - the real stars of the tournament - and the striped marlin in the Sea of Cortez, Stars & Stripes began in 1996 as a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. Now in its 27th year, the Stars & Stripes beneficiaries - including ten Southern California/Mexico-based charities and three honorary charities - receive much-needed financial assistance which they can use to expand their programs. Team registration fees pay for all costs of the event. When you make a donation to Stars & Stripes, proceeds are used to match dollars raised by the beneficiary charities, allowing the money they raise to increase and create more impact.
