Who We Are
We are a New England area based event management company specializing in sports events, coaching/consulting, team building and leadership development, and speaking engagements.
Seven years ago, founder and CEO Melissa Stoll Funaro started this company. Stoll Funaro saw there was a need for indoor track facilities as Connecticut has a limited number and almost all schools in the state have an indoor track and field team. She created the company to allow for high schoolers in the state to have an opportunity to compete more, along with giving collegiate athletes a chance to use their skills while managing these massive sporting events. But she didn’t stop there. With the success that the company has seen, Stoll Enterprises has realized that there are many elements of sporting events that parallel to that of the professional workplace: teamwork, consulting, leadership, and communication. This is why we, as a company, have begun expanding. We are here to provide services for not just high school athletes, but for people who may need a leadership workshop planned or to have a consultant speak to their business. We are constantly growing and looking for you to be a part of our journey.
We believe through the combination of event management, marketing, and coaching, we can help positively promote well-balanced and active communities.
Our goal is to deliver high quality events for our participants and excellent business return for our clients.
