Yes! We encourage you to FUNdraise as a team and/or individually. Once you complete registration for the event a personal fundraising page will be created for you. You will see a link to this page when you submit your registration; you will also receive an email to the one used at registration with a link to your personal and/or team page. This page is customizable and we encourage you to make it unique and explain your connection to cancer! This allows you and your teammate to fundraise. You then can share your unique page link with friends and family and encourage them to donate to your team in support of the FPS mission. Please note that this fundraising effort is separate from the registration fee. Based on the tournament hosts decision, the teams that raise the most fundraising money may receive a special incentive towards their first game of the tournament.

Complete the Host a Cornhole Tournament Form and a member of our team will contact you to discuss your event and help with the planning process.

Cornhole for Cancer is great for engagement, networking & team building opportunities! The Scoreholio software makes it easy to set up the tournament so that players can either register in set teams or individually and then are matched with different players for all four games. So, if you choose this tournament style, you randomly switch partners and get to play with someone different each game.

Being together is important and cornhole is an activity that can be done safely, inside or outside. So, it is a great way to bond with people of all ages, skill levels, backgrounds, and abilities! So, take the initiative to get one organized and bring Cornhole for Cancer to your community. This type of event is perfect for schools, sports groups, independent/assisted living facilities, religious groups, service groups, fraternity/sororities, and any other groups that are looking for a family fun activity!

We’ll confirm your event details, discuss logistics, and create a custom registration page. You’ll then receive the tools and support you need to promote and run your event.

Most tournaments last approximately four hours, depending on the format and number of participants.

The goal is to raise awareness and funds to support the For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation mission. To make it worthwhile for us to come and orchestrate your tournament, we set a goal of $6,000. At a minimum, we can come if you are able to raise $4,000 with team registrations and other ideas contained in our fundraising kit. We will provide you with a detailed fundraising guide and expert advice on ideas that help you reach your goal.

Absolutely! Hosts can add food, entertainment, raffles, sponsors, and other activities to create a unique event experience.

A fundraising kit is available to all tournament hosts. This kit will provide practical advice and guidance on raising additional funds, from raffles and sponsors to merchandise sales and silly games that you could include in your event experience. We encourage you to find event sponsors to help you reach your fundraising goal! We can create signage for them at the event and give them team registrations. An event sponsorship packet template will be provided to any tournament host who is interested in adding this fundraising initiative to their tournament.

In addition, tournament participants that fundraise $50 or more will have the opportunity to dedicate a message on our wall of hope in memory or honor of a loved one. All these donations will count towards your fundraising goal and are restricted gifts to offset our respite costs throughout the year.

Each team has two players and the tournament is limited to 128 teams.  If using set teams, the team members need to register together and choose a team name.  The more creative the names, the more fun the tournament can be. However, all names must be in good taste as our events are family friendly. Each team will be randomly assigned the starting brackets. Prior to the event, FPS will communicate directly to all registrants so to manage expectations.

Registration will begin thirty minutes prior to the start of play and teams simply have to check in with their team name, players names and email addresses. Once teams have checked in, they will proceed to the technology table for instructions on how to set up the scoring technology. It is suggested that all players download the Scoreholio app prior to coming to the tournament and we will help you set up the app for the tournament that day.

There will usually be two to four brackets depending on the event, labeled as Brackets A, B, C, and D. They will contain 16-32 teams each. Courts within these brackets will be titled A1 through A8 for Bracket A, B1 through B8 for Bracket B, and so on. Once all teams have registered and as play is about to begin, you will receive a notification on your phone as to the court you will be playing at for the first game. Once you are assigned to a bracket at the start of play, all your games will take place on these bracket courts! Your phone notifications will continue as play is underway and will tell you what court in your bracket you will be playing on! It’s important that when you get a notification, you immediately go to that court and start play. This is how we are able to complete the tournament in a four-hour timeframe!

Further, each bracket will have a television monitor under the bracket tent that will depict who is playing and on what court. Therefore, if you don’t want to use your phone, we ask that you continually look at the monitor to keep on top of your team movement.
