International Water Polo Club President and WINTERFEST Founder Bahram Hojreh attributes the success of the event to the dedication and support of the many people involved in the event, "I greatly appreciate the commitments shown by the thousands of people involved in WINTERFEST over the years, including coaches and players, parents and friends, as well as the many spectators and sponsors.  I believe another reason for the growth in popularity of WINTERFEST is our 'open' admissions criteria, which is unlike most other major water polo events.  WINTERFEST accepts all players providing an opportunity for everyone to compete in a genuine championship event - regardless of age, gender or skill flights [skill levels, i.e., advanced, intermediate or beginner classifications]."

In addition to Platinum Level Sponsors previously noted, the International Water Polo Club would also like to thank the sponsorship support of Gold Sponsors Embrace Apparel & Screen Printing, One-Stitch Custom Embroidery & Screen Printing and numerous hotels including Staybridge Suites, DoubleTree by Hilton, Fairfield Inn & Suites (Marriott), Holiday Inn & Suites, Hyatt House, Courtyard by Marriott and The Laguna Hills Hotel.
