OCVB approves $4,000 presenting sponsorship for National Wiffle League tournament at Hoost Stadium
Summary
The board approved a $4,000 presenting sponsorship for the National Wiffle League national tournament Aug. 14–16 at O'Fallon's Hoost Stadium at CarShield, with funds to come from an existing Sports Tourism Partnership line item; the vote was taken by voice and recorded as passing.
Sam, representing the National Wiffle League, asked the O'Fallon board to be the presenting sponsor for the league's national tournament Aug. 14–16.
"We have already secured the O'Fallon Hoost Stadium at CarShield for the tournament," Sam said, adding that hotel blocks are in place and that 20 teams had already registered with organizers expecting up to 24 teams.
Board members discussed the sponsorship amount and where the funds would come from. Patrick (first referenced in roll call as Patrick McKeon) noted a $10,000 Sports Tourism Partnership Program line item and suggested reallocating $4,000 from that line item for the sponsorship rather than seeking a budget increase.
The board moved, a second was recorded, and the motion to approve the $4,000 presenting sponsorship passed by voice vote ('Aye'; no opposition recorded). There was agreement that staff and organizers should finalize a written sponsorship agreement specifying advertising, hotel partnerships and logo usage before August.
The board's approval authorizes the presenting‑sponsor level and directs staff to complete an agreement documenting advertising placements and hotel partner commitments.
