Cornhole tournament to raise funds for ‘Grandparents Raising Grandchildren’ – BG Independent News

From WOOD COUNTY COMMITEE ON AGING, INC. The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. 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, providing them with an opportunity to win a trophy, and to have fun 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 better holiday. The event will take place on Sunday, Sept. 20, starting at 1 p.m. The estimated time of the tournament is six hours. The event will be held at Wooster Green, 100 S. Church St., Bowling Green. Parking will be available at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St. Tournament details include a registration fee of $25 for two-member teams; $15 for single players, and single players will be paired with other single players. There will be no rain date or refunds, as the proceeds from the event will go towards the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren project. All cornhole boards will be provided along with the resin bags. This is a double elimination tournament with three divisions: business, campus life, and community. Participants are asked to note the division they represent when registering for the event. A trophy will be provided to the winning team in each division. This event will allow people to network and support a good cause. If people do not want to participate but still want to support the fundraiser, they are welcome to stop by the event. They can bring lawn chairs to watch the tournament, take part in the 50/50 raffle, or visit food trucks. Preregistration is encouraged, but walk-ons are welcome.
