Family Building Blocks launches first Young Leaders Council cornhole fundraiser
MAY THE TOSS BE WITH YOU won Family Building Blocks’ first Young Leaders Council cornhole fundraiser, and the nonprofit is already planning a return next year.
MAY THE TOSS BE WITH YOU, the father-son team, won Family Building Blocks’ first-ever Young Leaders Council Cornhole Tournament at TopWire in Woodburn, giving the nonprofit a clear champion for an inaugural event it plans to bring back. The fundraiser ran Sunday, June 28, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and mixed round-robin competition with a direct cash path to the organization’s work.
Teams of two entered for $20, and Family Building Blocks paired the tournament with TopWire’s Hop Project in a setup that extended beyond the boards. All proceeds benefited Family Building Blocks, and TopWire was also set to donate a portion of beverage sales to the nonprofit for guests who came to watch rather than play. That structure turned the afternoon into both a competition and a revenue driver, with the winning bracket result giving the debut event some hard evidence to build on.
The Young Leaders Council was the force behind the tournament. Family Building Blocks describes the council as an advisory and steering committee that works to increase awareness of community needs, promote prevention, and inspire community involvement, which makes the cornhole format fit the mission cleanly. The event was not treated as a standalone social night; it was tied directly to Family Building Blocks’ service work, including its goal of keeping children safe and families together.
Family Building Blocks later marked the tournament in its June impact recap as the “FIRST EVER” Young Leaders Council Cornhole Tournament, underscoring how new the event was inside the nonprofit’s calendar. The group also placed it alongside other summer 2026 fundraisers, including Capital City LIVE on July 31 and Riverfront Family Fest on August 8, a sign the organization is building a repeatable public schedule around its outreach efforts. After a first run that produced a winner, drew support at TopWire, and generated enough traction to warrant a sequel, cornhole now has a permanent spot on Family Building Blocks’ fundraising board.
