On Saturday, Prestige Worldwide’s long awaited, much anticipated Charity Cornhole Tournament took place. The event was held at McCormick Place apartment complex. Due to scheduling conflicts, only twelve teams showed up, but the event was a great success.

Cornhole, if you don't know, is a group sport that relies on communication between team members. Throwing a bean bag from thirty feet away, a person can't always see where it's going to land, so their partner at the other side has to tell them what to aim for. It's possible to play the game without interaction, but good communication skills are a plus.
All members of Prestige Worldwide participated in the event, except for me. I was too busy taking pictures and video. Things were well organized and everyone who participated seemed to have a great time.
Hot dogs grilled up by Prestige Worldwide were provided for players. Only one of them was lost to Gary’s dog.
The players all competed well, and there were many close games. In the end, the coed team of Ben & Amnie won. They were rewarded with a cash prize and custom made t-shirts.
The whole point of the tournament was to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club. Official figures have not been released yet, but I think that the local branch of the Club will be very happy with the money we were able to raise.
