From WOOD COUNTY COMMITTEE ON AGING
The Wood County Committee on Aging has partnered with Bowling Green Kiwanis and Bowling Green State University to host a county-wide cornhole tournament. This tournament is designed to provide an avenue for participants to give back to their communities by supporting a project and provides them with an opportunity to win a trophy and enjoy themselves at the same time.
The event is a fundraiser supporting WCCOA’s “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Holiday Project.” This annual project provides holiday gifts to grandchildren (17 and under) who are being raised by their grandparents in Wood County. All gifts are purchased, wrapped, and delivered to families before the holiday season to help them have a good holiday.
The event will take place on Sunday, Sept. 14, starting at 1 p.m. The tournament time is estimated to be six hours. The event will be held at Wooster Green, 100 S. Church St., with parking at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St. The tournament includes a registration fee of a $25 donation for two-member teams or a $15 donation for single players. Single players will be paired with other single players. There will be no rain date or refunds. The proceeds will support the “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Project.”
All cornhole boards will be provided, along with the resin bags. It will be a double-elimination tournament with three divisions: business, campus life, and community. Attendees are encouraged to note the division they represent when they register. A trophy will be provided to the winning team in each division. The event provides an opportunity to network while supporting local families.
Those who do not wish to play cornhole are invited to bring lawn chairs and watch the tournament. There will be food trucks and a 50/50 drawing.
Preregistration is encouraged, though walk-ons are welcome. To register online, click here.
