Wifflefest supports the Pujols Family Foundation

As many of you know, this year the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest had a little extra meaning besides the usual famous competition. Teams and individuals were encouraged to make a monetary donation to the Pujols Family Foundation, which is dedicated to raising awareness for children who have down syndrome. I am proud to say that collectively Wifflefest raised $325.00 for the foundation. I am also proud to say that I have been contacted by many people who planned on donating on their own, which will add to the total. The donations are currently on their way to the Pujols Family Foundation offices, along with some Wifflefest t-shirts, and the SEMissourian article.

I want to thank all of the Wifflefest participants who were able to donate to this great cause. I encourage any and all of you to considered continual giving and prayer for this great cause throughout the year. May our Lord Jesus Christ be honored by your actions and loving heart.

Wifflefest Recap

What a wonderful day it was at the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest. The temperature was hot, the action even hotter as ten teams competed for a chance to be named Wifflefest Champions. After an early, one-run defeat, Sean's Sluggers fought all the way back through the loser's bracket to claim the championship, winning their final six games of the tournament. The Sluggers were powered by the incredible hitting of Trent Forester, who smashed eight home runs.... demolishing all previous Wifflefest home run records. Congratulations on a hard earned championship.... it was well deserved.

Stats, pictures, stories and final team results will be posted within the week.... so please check back often.

I want to thank you so much for making Wifflefest a wonderful success. Wifflefest is not about one person, a one day event, or if you win or lose. Wifflefest is about the people. People who are willing to drive one, two, three hours to hang out and play wiffleball. People you meet for the first time, or you have known for a lifetime. People who you would drop anything for in a heartbeat.... People you love from the bottom of your heart. I trust and pray that you had a fun time and you will already being making plans to join us next year.

If you have any suggestions or thoughts about how to make Wifflefest even more exciting and enjoyable next year.... please don't hesitate to contact me.
