Cornhole tourney to aid Freedom House

It's a chance to have fun — and help others at the same time.

On Saturday, Nov. 4, the first 7B Cornhole Tournament will raise fund for Freedom House, Inc., a local nonprofit that provides housing and support for men and women recovering from addiction.

The fundraiser, set for noon-4 p.m. at Harvest Valley Worship Center, will go to support the Bethesda men's house.

The cornhole tournament is made-up of two divisions for players who are competitive (enthusiasts) and those who are just getting into cornhole (dabblers). There is over $1,000 available in cash prizes for tournament winners along with other prizes for competitors. Anyone is free to join the tournament with a recommended donation of $20 per player. All registered players will get a tournament T-shirt.

Come ready to eat with food provided. Bring the kids for a day with kid’s games and prizes in the kid’s play area with free popcorn and cotton candy. There will be a dessert auction, and a silent auction to raise money for Freedom House. The silent auction has a wide variety of items to bid on from airplane rides to gym memberships. A list of auction items will be updated weekly on the tournament webpage. The auction closes at 3 p.m.

This event is being hosted by Harvest Valley Worship Center, 3 miles north of Ponderay at 86 Hidden Valley Road.

Participants can register online before Oct. 31 at hvwc.com/cornhole. You can also register auction and dessert items on that page as well.
