Despite fractures in more than 100 bones, Michael’s smile stands as a symbol of how hopeful the human spirit can be in spite of the obstacles we face. The 2001 tournament, held last Au- gust, raised $20,000 for the OI Foun- dation,  far  surpassing  organizers’ goals of $15,000.

This year the Bubba  Invitational  selected  the Miracle Mike fund, and the OI Foun- dation,  to  be  the  main  recipient  of Miracle Michael Tourney exceeds goals their  2001  tourna- ment proceeds.
