How to Run a Cornhole Tournament for Charity
Charity events are a great way to raise money, but you need to provide quality entertainment to get people to show up. A cornhole tournament is the perfect way to do that. Here’s how to run an official cornhole game for charity.
Setup
When setting up a tournament for charity, you will need 3 things:
- Food and Drinks – Providing food and drinks is a big draw for players. The sales of these items can also be a great way to add to your profits. A lot of businesses are also willing to donate food and beverages if they like your cause. Reach out to local business to see if they are willing to donate food and drinks in exchange for the publicity they will get at this event.
- Music – The tournament provides plenty of entertainment, but music will keep everyone entertained when they aren’t playing. It also adds to the fun atmosphere that you’re creating.
- Sponsors – Many companies will sponsor charity events as a part of their marketing campaign. To ensure that you can raise the most money possible for your favorite charity, you’ll need to reach out to companies for sponsorship.
The Equipment
In order to run a cornhole tournament, you’ll need equipment. You can ask players to bring their own boards and bags, rent boards from a company like Custom Corntoss, or even contact your local cornhole league for help.
Promotion
You can’t have a cornhole tournament if no one knows about it – so promote it! Social media, online marketing, fliers, and word of mouth are a great way to advertise your tournament and get people interested. You can also ask your sponsors to help you advertise!
