- 2023 Wiffle Ball Tournament
Due to rain, the Strike 3 Foundation unfortunately canceled the annual WIFFLE® Ball Tournament on October 7, 2023.
The two most important elements for our event are safety and fun, and both would be at risk by proceeding with the event. Canceling the event is not something we take lightly, and something we gave significant time wrestling with. However, risking the health and safety of any of our players or our volunteers would have been a significantly worse outcome.
On a more positive note, the 2023 tournament surpassed last year's fundraising totals by a fairly wide margin.
