Wifflefest benefits Pujols Family Foundation

I am proud to say that the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest has stepped up to the plate again and supported the Pujols Family Foundation. This year teams and individuals dug deep into their pockets and donated $823.62. All of this has been sent to the Pujols Family Foundation in an effort to help them help children with Down Syndrome. Thank you so much for all of your donations, and we pray that this money will be put to good use. Below is a copy of the letter sent to the foundation:

Dear Pujols Family Foundation,
On September 20, 2008, we held our third annual Justin Osborne All-American Wifflefest, which we are proud to say benefited the Pujols Family Foundation. This year we had eleven teams of five to seven players compete for the coveted prize of being named Wifflefest champions. The one day, double elimination, coed wiffleball tournament was a lot of fun and we were able to raise a little money and some awareness of what goes on with the foundation. Please accept our enclosed gifts.
We promise to pray for your work with the foundation and look forward to helping even more in the years to come…. As we all try to glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
May God richly bless you,
Justin, Ann, Owen and Ellie Osborne

Wifflefest 2008 Recap - 0 Days unitl Wifflefest

It was a wet and wild day at the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest where eleven teams competed for the cherished prize of becoming Wifflefest champions. Teams consisting of five to seven players competed on two specially designed fields: the Pond Field and the Forest Field. The Pond Field featured the traditional pond in center field as well as the famous announcing abilities of now Wifflefest Hall of Fame member Matt "the Voice" Hall. The Forest Field, built in the beautiful pine forest at the Martin Tree Farm, feature a fifteen foot high pine monster, which only yielded one home run over its barky reach all day long. Wifflefest also inducted two new members into the Justin Osborne All American Hall of Fame. Mike Oslund was inducted for his ability to hit a grand slam home run while talking on his cell phone. Matt "the Voice" Hall, was also inducted for his overall wonderful announcing and play by play ability. Both are welcomed additions to the Wifflefest HOF. In the end, as the rain cleared and the eye of the storm which had drenched our wiffleball field had passed, the Hurricanes emerged as the champions. Featuring the steady play of Amanda and Trent Forester (Silver Slugger Award 2007), the Hurricanes completed a sweep through Wifflefest and breezed to the title. Compiling a perfect (4-0) record, they launched many homeruns and pitched good enough to secure victories over all challengers they faced.
