- 2024 Wiffle Ball Tournament
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 that will provide an enjoyable experience coupled with fundraising critical dollars in the fight against childhood cancers.
- '04 Championship Roundtable Lunch
The Foundation To Be Named Later & the Strike 3 Foundation joined to host a 2004 Red Sox Championship Reunion Roundtable Lunch to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Red Sox 2004 World Series Championship Team on April 8, 2024 in Boston, MA. The event featured delicious food, stories, laughter and reliving memories from the season the Red Sox broke the 86-year curse. Special guests included Theo Epstein, Peter Gammons, Manny Ramirez, Bronson Arroyo, Lenny DiNardo, Derek Lowe, Orlando Cabrera, and Terry Francona.
- 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.
- 2022 Wiffle Ball Tournament
Craig Breslow and the Strike 3 Foundation hosted their annual WIFFLE® Ball Tournament on October 8, 2022 at Little Fenway in Essex, VT. A total of $23,000 was raised for childhood cancer research. Proceeds from the tournament will help fund a Strike 3 Foundation/Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award grant.

Message from Craig
When I founded the Strike 3 Foundation in 2008, I did so with a compelling inspiration to reciprocate my good fortune. Privileged by a healthy and prosperous upbringing, yet forever touched by the childhood cancer of my sister, I now seek to raise awareness and support for this devastating disease.
I grew up in Connecticut before graduating from Yale. Read full message …
