Slingball2025 Tournament

Slingball25 raises $30k for MS!  Final Stats & Recap!

Austin Green Becomes First Back-to-Back Champion Since 2007!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who played, volunteered, donated, and cheered during Slingball 25! With your support, we raised nearly $30,000—bringing our all-time total close to $400,000 in the fight against multiple sclerosis.

We’re proud to share that the MJN Slingball Tournament is now the third-longest running event in Pacific City, Oregon—and it’s all thanks to you. Our mom, Marilyn J. Neu, believed deeply in paying it forward, and our dad, Roger J. Neu, was passionate about volunteerism and community. We know they would be proud.

A huge shoutout to our amazing sponsors:
Cook Solutions Group, Apollo Mechanical, Woodruff & Sawyer, as well as the many incredible local businesses in Pacific City and generous donors across the Pacific Northwest. Special thanks also go to Tillamook County and the Oregon State Parks for their continued support.
