Team Sweaty Already’s MS Bags and Beers Cornhole Tournament was a huge success.Thirty-six teams came out and showed their support in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the event held Saturday, August 1.

MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.

There were many spectators, fans, and raffle items contributed by many local businesses.

The winning teams were:

• 1st Place: Team Noonan, Matt MacEachern and Justin Strem
• 2nd Place: Team Minutemen. John Foley, Jr and Biff Gately
• 3rd Place: Sack to the Future: Mark and Kerri Moran

Team Sweaty Already would like to thank the following businesses for their continued support. Knights of Columbus for the venue, InterlinkOne for hosting our website, Sons of Italy for their participation, Pizza Mia for their delicious pizza, Roque’s Designs, Red Heat Tavern, Tremezzo, Kate Ackermann Photography, Look What I Made, and Altitude Trampoline Park for donating great raffle items.

In total, the event raised $4,200 for Team Sweaty Already’s participation at MS Challenge Walk Cape Cod—a 3 day, 50 mile fundraising walk on Sept. 11, 12 and 13 on Cape Cod.

The event is organized by the National MS Society’s Greater New England Chapter which works to improve quality of life for individuals and families affected by MS in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. It also contributes cutting-edge MS research to stop disease progression, restore lost function, and end MS forever.
