2 Cherokee County Nonprofits To Host Cornhole Fundraiser

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — Socially distanced, fundraising fun is on tap for the Rotary Club of Towne Lake and the Rotary Club of Cherokee County with the first Bags and Brews event Nov. 7.

The cornhole tournament is a joint effort between the foundations of the two Rotary Clubs to raise
money for nonprofits in Cherokee County.

The Rotary Club of Towne Lake Foundation annually supports organizations including Never Alone, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, Ferst Readers, the Boys and Girls Club and more. The Rotary Club of Cherokee County Foundation supports literacy programs at Hasty Elementary and RM Moore Elementary schools and the food pantry at Papa’s Pantry.

“Fundraising is paramount for our club. 2020 created challenges with our traditional fundraisers, causing our leaders to look for interesting and engaging ways to raise funds, while staying safe,” said Phil Ciccone, president of the Rotary Club of Towne Lake. “Cornhole is inherently good for social distancing and something neither of our clubs have done before as a fundraiser. We are very excited to partner with another club, creating additional resources and support to ensure an incredible event.”

“We are really excited about this event, not only because we can raise money for local charities, but also because our two clubs are working together. Cornhole is so fun. Hopefully this will become an annual event that will draw an altruistic crowd,” said Carol Gage, president of the Rotary Club of Cherokee County.

The event will be held Nov. 7 at Burnt Hickory Brewery, 2260 Moon Station Court, Suite 210 in Kennesaw.

Doors open at 1 p.m., bags fly at 2 p.m. Advance entry fees are $50 per team or $25 per individual
player. Event day registration is $60 per team or $30 per individual player. Individual players will be matched with other individual players to create a two-person team.

Sponsorships are available. There also will be food trucks, basket raffles, 50/50 and more.
