Bean bags were flying through the air for a good cause in Rapid City.

We visit a local brewery to see how they're helping unite families in this week's Be the Change.

About 100 people came out to Hay Camp Brewing Company to support United Families.

The two groups hosted a cornhole tournament, tossing bean bags into a hole on a raised platform in hopes of scoring points and winning $500.

Kelly Peterson, United Families executive director, says their non-profit is a vital partner to the Department of Social Services.

Kelly Peterson says,"We work with children who are placed in foster care and we provide them a safe, family-friendly environment to come have supervised visitations so that they can stay connected with their family during the abuse and neglect process."

United Families also provides transportation to and from their site.

Not only is Hay Camp providing the venue, but they're also donating $1 for every 32 oz. beer can sold.

Sam Papendick, Hay Camp Brewing Company co-owner, says, "It's great. Every time you can give back to the community or partner with any other business, it's awesome. For us, it's pretty easy. They did most of the leg work. We're just providing the venue and the beer so it's a good partnership on our end and I think it's good for the organization."

The brewery's co-owner also got to try his hand at cornhole.

Sam Papendick says,"We got taken out pretty soon. I need to practice up on my cornhole skills."

Sonic, On the Border, and several other businesses helped make the cornhole tournament possible.

Kelly Peterson says, "We are so thankful to all the businesses that were willing to sponsor us and come out here today. We really can't do what we do without community support so it's really vital in what we do. We're very thankful."

People at the competition could also listen to live music and buy items from a silent auction.
