Wifflemania For The Cure - A Success

We received emails and Facebook messages from one of our readers, Ken Flammia, who told us a little bit about the 1st Annual Wifflemania For The Cure Wiffleball Tournament that took place recently in Sarasota, Florida. The tournament was organized to raise money for children with Ataxia Telangiectasia, also known as "A-T". One of the early symptoms of a child having this genetic degenerative neurological disorder is slurred speech and "wobbliness" while walking that "never improves." To find out more about Ataxia Telangiectasia visit the Wobbly Feet Foundation. The tournament had over 14 teams participate and raised over $5,000! Add this tournament to the growing list of wiffle events that raise money for a great cause! So who won? The "A-Team" Pirates and the Sarasota Landsharks were runners-up. Thanks to Ken for passing along the information about this tournament to make this post possible. If you want to see more pictures of the tournament visit the Facebook photo album we dedicated to it.
