Sixth City Marketing becomes headline sponsor of 2026 Wiffle Bowl

Sixth City Marketing stepped into the headline sponsor spot for the 2026 Wiffle Bowl on June 24, marking the Cleveland-based digital marketing agency’s first turn as the event’s top backer after four straight years of support. The move gives the Carter Nedley Foundation’s signature family fundraiser a more prominent public identity as it prepares for Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Lamuth Middle School in Concord, Ohio.

The tournament is set to run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving the event a full-day footprint and a defined summer date that should help organizers build momentum around registration, turnout, and donations. For a fundraiser built around wiffle ball, the new title sponsorship signals more than a name on the event. It points to a growing level of stability behind one of the foundation’s biggest annual gatherings.

That matters because the Carter Nedley Foundation’s work is rooted in a deeply personal mission. Created in memory of Carter Nedley, the foundation exists to help ease the burden on children and families battling cancer. The Wiffle Bowl sits at the center of that effort, bringing families, businesses, and community members together across Northeast Ohio around a cause tied directly to that mission.

Sixth City Marketing’s elevation to headline sponsor should give the event a stronger platform as it heads toward August. The sponsorship is positioned to support the event’s visibility, broaden local awareness, and strengthen the fundraising runway before teams take the field at Lamuth Middle School. For the foundation, that kind of backing can translate into a larger audience for its mission and a more durable base for the tournament’s future.

The public-facing details also show how the Wiffle Bowl has evolved into a more established community fixture. It is presented as a family fundraiser, not a one-off game day, and the return of a long-time supporter in a top role suggests the event has reached a level of credibility that keeps sponsors coming back. In practical terms, that continuity can help the foundation grow the tournament year after year while keeping the focus on families facing cancer.
