Curchin Cornhole Classic names No Limits Cafe, Bradley Food Pantry as beneficiaries

No Limits Cafe and Bradley Food Pantry will share every dollar from the 2026 Curchin Cornhole Classic, turning a summer tournament in Wall Township into direct support for two organizations built around work and food access. The Curchin Group announced the beneficiaries on June 1, and the event is set for Wednesday, August 19, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Pat’s 30 Acres, with a rain date of August 26.

Curchin says the classic has raised more than $271,000 since it began in 2006, backing more than two dozen local charities along the way. Last year’s tournament brought in $12,000, split evenly between two recipients, and this year’s beneficiaries were chosen through an essay contest judged by the firm’s partners. The format is built for a summer crowd, with food, drinks and prizes part of the day, and local businesses can still step in through sponsorships that support the charities while raising their own visibility.

That is what makes the Cornhole Classic more than a backyard-style competition. In a four-hour window, the event functions like civic infrastructure, pulling together players, sponsors and spectators to generate money that can be put to work long after the final bag lands. For No Limits Cafe, that means support for a Red Bank organization centered on employment and training opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Its inclusive lunch cafe and food truck are designed to give people real work experience while changing expectations about who gets access to the job market.

Bradley Food Pantry will use its share to help a mission that has served the central shore towns of Monmouth County since 1982. The pantry provides bags of food and operates on a client-choice model, allowing families to pick the food and essentials they need most. It is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to noon, and it says its annual golf benefit is its No. 1 fundraiser, a reminder that recurring local events still matter in a year when demand for food support and basic services remains steady.

By the time the first tosses are made in August, the Curchin Cornhole Classic will once again be doing what it has done for nearly two decades: turning a recreational tournament into sustained backing for two nonprofits with very different missions, but the same need for reliable support.
