LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. / June 3, 2025 – A heartwarming softball league in Blue Springs for young men and women with special needs had some extra volunteers in attendance last month, as agents from Weichert, Realtors® – CJ Properties traveled to the Hidden Valley Sports Complex to support players in the Exceptionals Softball League.
Real estate agents Megan Shinneman, Holly Jones, Alissia Jaynes, Terri Gilgour, and Gary D. Ashley, Sr., along with family members Trinity Ezechiels and Peyton Ryan, assisted the softball players around the bases, guided them in the right direction, and provided constant encouragement to the athletes during a night on the field.
The Exceptionals Softball League, started by long-time softball coach Sterling Farber back in 1993, gives kids and young adults with special needs the opportunity to compete on the field. The name of the league reflects the exceptional kids and young adults who play the sport despite the challenges and obstacles they face in everyday life.
“Volunteering with the Exceptionals Softball League was truly a heartwarming experience,” said Megan Shinneman, an experienced real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors® – CJ Properties in Lee’s Summit. “Seeing the joy on the players’ faces and being part of such a supportive and uplifting community reminded us why giving back matters. It was an honor for our team to share in that spirit and cheer these incredible athletes on.”
