Two Mile Coalition hosts community Wiffle Ball tournament in Tipp City

The Two Mile Coalition’s second annual Wiffle Ball Tournament will turn First Baptist Church in Tipp City into a one-day fundraiser built around four-player teams, a $50 entry fee and prizes for the winning squad. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, and public calendars list an 8:00 a.m. start for the all-day tournament at 6533 South Tipp-Cowlesville Road, Tipp City, Ohio 45371.

That simple format is the point. Wiffle Ball keeps roster construction easy, the games short and the atmosphere open to players who might not join a larger league, which makes it a natural fit for a community event that needs both participation and momentum. The Two Mile Coalition is tying the tournament directly to its mission of inspiring unity and generosity within communities throughout the world, so the competition is doing double duty as a local sports day and a fundraising vehicle.

The tournament also comes with a built-in incentive for teams to play hard. Prizes will go to the winning team, giving the event a competitive edge without turning it into a high-barrier entry point. That balance is what makes Wiffle Ball so useful in smaller towns: it is familiar, inexpensive to stage and easy for families to understand, while still leaving room for real competition.

First Baptist Church gives the event a recognizable home base in Tipp City, where community calendars regularly list recurring local gatherings and fundraisers. The church can be reached at 937-533-6483 for registration and follow-up, keeping the tournament accessible to teams that want in before the August date. As the coalition returns for a second year, the formula is already clear: a backyard-style game, a church venue and a charitable purpose combine into a fundraiser that can be repeated without losing its neighborhood feel.
