Wiffle Ball Tournament, October 05, 2024

October 05, 2024 · Essex, VT

UPDATE: The 2024 Strike 3 Foundation WIFFLE® Ball tournament has been sadly canceled.

The decision to cancel this important day was incredibly difficult. We were unable to receive a level of interest that justifies the significant volunteer power required to execute this tournament at a high level. It was necessary to pause and consider how we can make future fundraising efforts productive and meaningful. Please stay tuned for additional details on our next great event; one taht will provide an enjoyable experience coupled with fundraising critical dollars in the fight against childhood cancers.

Wiffle Ball Tournament, October 07, 2023

October 7, 2023 · Essex, VT

UPDATE: Due to expected rain, the Strike 3 Foundation will unfortunately be canceling our annual WIFFLE® Ball Tournament on October 7, 2023.

The two most important elements for our event are safety and fun, and we would be putting both 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 is a significantly worse outcome.

On a more positive note, the 2023 tournament has already surpassed last year's fundraising totals by a fairly wide margin.
