The Foundation shared on its website special thanks to Diamond Packaging CEO, Karla Fichter, for her continued generosity. Diamond Packaging has been the title sponsor for the event since its inception in 2018. As part of a team's entry fee, players receive a complimentary beverage from Rising Storm BC and a food item! Players must be at least 18 years old (but there will be a Kids Zone for children). This is the Foundation's major fundraising event, so even if people are not playing, “fans” are invited to show up, socialize and support their favorite Cornholers!
The WIF raises money to underwrite staff-initiated grants for projects, equipment and programs for West Irondequoit schools. Through a strong annual campaign and fundraising, the WIF has granted more than $1.2 million to the WICSD. It is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and relies on the support of community, businesses and alumni to boost educational excellence.
