Over the past few years, we have had as many as 14 teams sign up for wifflefest, with the minimum five players per team (2 girl minimum), but founder and good guy Justin Osborne feels that they could handle more. "Wifflefest has room to grow. We could easily handle 16 or more teams. We have another field site close to the others that we could utilize." More people would also mean that there is a better chance at raising money for the charity Wifflefest benefits.
This year Wifflefest will benefiting Melaina's Magical Playland, whose vision is to "bring the area's first public all-inclusive and fully-accessible playground to our community designed for all ability levels." The playland is located in Cape Girardeau County Park. To date the playland has raised over $600,000, but is still in need of funding. Donations over $100 in total also get to engrave a brick paver on the sidewalk leading up to the playland. This is an awesome opportunity for Wifflefest goers to bless a local organization.
The Wifflefest 8 launch would not be complete without our homemade promotional video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djQR4vdLn7o
