Aug 12, 2025 | 11:38 AM

The Funtastic Sports Society is starting to prepare for a milestone celebration by finding new partners.

Funtastic will have its 40th annual Slo Pitch and Music Festival in 2026, and is wanting to host a special celebration to mark the four decades of community fun, sport, and music.

To help make a memorable celebration, Brad Krauza of the Young’uns band, who was recently introduced into the Funtastic Hall of Fame, has been appointed as the Music Festival Sponsorship Liaison. In this role, Krauza will be working with the music committee and the Board of Directors to attract new partners and elevate the weekend celebrations to new heights.

“Brad (Krauza) will work alongside our Executive Manager, Diana Williamson, and our booking liaison Bryan Quint as part of our team dedicated to creating a celebration befitting 40 years of Funtastic,” Jamie Austin, Chair of the Funtastics Sports Society, said.
