On June 4, members of the iMiller Public Relations (iMPR) team joined professionals from across the digital infrastructure, telecommunications, and technology communities for the 2026 Hoboken Angelwish WIFFLE Ball Classic. While the competition on the field was spirited, the focus of the day extended far beyond wins and losses.

Hosted by Angelwish, the annual tournament brings together companies, colleagues, friends, and families to raise funds for children living with chronic illnesses. Founded in 1999, Angelwish helps fulfill wishes for children around the world while also promoting philanthropy and community engagement. The organization has spent more than two decades creating meaningful experiences for children and their families, helping bring moments of joy during some of life’s most difficult circumstances.

At Frank Sinatra Park, set against the backdrop of Hoboken’s waterfront, the Angelwish WIFFLE Ball Classic has become a longstanding tradition that combines fundraising, networking, and a healthy dose of childhood nostalgia. What makes the event unique is its simplicity: a  game that many participants grew up playing becomes a vehicle for something much larger for supporting children who are facing challenges most adults would struggle to navigate.

Over the years, the tournament has attracted participation from organizations across the communications and digital infrastructure sectors, creating an atmosphere where friendly competition  quickly gives way to collaborate and to come together in support of a meaningful cause.

This year’s tournament featured approximately 21 teams representing organizations from across the tech industry, telecommunications, technology, and professional services sectors. Participants included companies such as NJFX, CoreWeave, Ciena, Megaport, 1547, and many others that came together in support of the cause. Throughout the day, participants stepped away from conference rooms and video calls to spend time together outdoors, reconnect with industry peers, and contribute to a mission that impacts children and families around the world.

For the iMPR team, the tournament served as a reminder that some of the most meaningful industry gatherings are not centered on business development or market discussions, they are centered on people. Events like the Angelwish WIFFLE Ball Classic demonstrate how a community can come together in support of something bigger than itself, creating tangible impact while building connections that extend beyond the workplace.

Another successful tournament came to a close, raising over $25,000. The lasting takeaway is not who advanced the furthest in the bracket or who hit the longest home run, but  the collective effort of dozens of companies who dedicated their time, energy, and resources to support children living with chronic illnesses. That shared commitment is what continues to make the Angelwish WIFFLE Ball Classic such a special event year after year.

iMPR is proud to have participated in this meaningful tradition and support the important work being done by Angelwish, and we look forward to returning next year to continue contributing to a cause that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families.
