Why do we do, what we do?
The annual hosting of the Funtastic events are the culmination of thousands of volunteer-hours by the Funtastic Sports Society board and three to 6 days of on the ground work by a cadre of volunteers numbering more than 400 on any given day! Why do we go to this effort every year? It is about bettering the quality of sport and recreation in our community. From the sport’s perspective the events are important to:
- Our sport organizations; that they have improved fields and playing opportunities
- Our local teams as a local opportunity to play in a first-class fun tournament in their own back yard
- Our visiting teams as one of their first choices year after year for holiday plans
- Our local business community for the millions of dollars generated as a sport tourism event
- All our aspiring athletes through the media and sponsor support that comes back to sport and recreation either directly or indirectly as a result of this annual event.
We also do it because of the fun we have, but more about that later!

What do we do?
We perform challenging physical tasks, it’s a great way to get in shape. We put in some long hours at the ball field; some over a 5 to 7 day commitment. We perform our tasks with lots of drinking water and sunscreen (welcome to the sunny Okanagan). We have many departments include set up/tear down, afternoon special games and communication, scoreboard and many more…
and if the slo-pitch tournament doesn’t work for you, our society is always looking for volunteers throughout the year too!
