Miriam's Heart @ the Somerset Patriots

All kids who were adopted or in foster care were traumatized. Together, we are combatting a problem both here in America and around the world. Worldwide, there are millions of orphans and unparented children, with thousands paper ready for adoption. Statewide, there are currently about 150,000 legal orphans in the United States and about 4000 foster children in New Jersey.

In response, Miriam's Heart was created to provide critical support for families to thrive, whether it is during a foster placement or a family making the lifelong commitment to a child to adopt. We provide support in and through that process by holistically meeting the needs of children and families. The Miriam's Heart Family Fun night at the Somerset Patriots allows children and teens to be celebrated in their communities, experience on-field wonderment and activities, and create memories with their families.

​

​

Miriam's Heart hosts an annual fundraiser and opportunity for our children to shine each year! We offer FREE tickets to the Somerset Patriots game to adoptive and foster families, offer on-field experiences for former foster youth and adoptees and promote a time for children to feel the love and support of their community at the Somerset Patriots!

​

Since 2015, we host more than 600 guests, supporters, and friends for this annual event! And each year we SELL OUT!
