\"\"<\/a>Become a vital part of the Wausau Ignite community by joining our host family program! The Wausau Ignite host family program offers a multitude of benefits for those who open their homes to our players. As a host family, you’ll gain a unique opportunity to form meaningful connections with talented athletes, creating friendships that can last a lifetime. Additional host family benefits are listed below.<\/p>\n

\"\"Previous host families have this to say about their experiences:<\/span><\/p>\n

“They (the players and their families) come as strangers, we become friends, they leave as family.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“As empty-nesters this was a great opportunity to keep us young at heart. Having ‘the boys’ in the house every summer reminds us of when our own boys were younger and involved in sports and other activities. Plus, it’s always a great time at the ballpark.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“This will be our 6th year hosting Woodchuck players. It has been a very positive experience for our family getting to know these players and in most cases their extended families. We still maintain contact with most of them and continue to watch them grow as both players and in their lives after baseball.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
