Teams can also help raise additional money for Siskin by participating in the team fundraising challenge. Members can ask friends, co-workers and family members to contribute a small donation to their team ahead of the competition.

Cornhole is a backyard party game where players take turns throwing beanbags at raised platforms. Each platform has a hole, and, similar to the game of horseshoes, points are scored when bags go in the hole or land on the outside platform.

Teams are encouraged to make up creative names for the competition.

The tournament will be played at Siskin Children’s Institute at 1101 Carter St.

Siskin Children’s Institute seeks to “improve the quality of life for children of all abilities through excellence in education, research, health care, advocacy and support.” More information is here.
