LADACIN sets July 11 cornhole tournament with cash prizes and raffle
Cash prizes, a gift auction and a 50/50 raffle gave LADACIN’s fifth cornhole tournament real bracket stakes while raising money for people with disabilities.
LADACIN Network’s fifth annual cornhole tournament put cash on the table and fundraising in the same bracket, with $300 going to first place, $200 to second and $100 to third at The Great American Center in Aberdeen. Check-in was set for 11 a.m. and games began at noon, with a double-elimination format that gave players more than one path to the title.
The setup was built to feel like a full-day event, not just a quick stop-and-go tournament. Players were told to bring their own bags, and the optional bring-your-own beach chair note leaned into the social side of the afternoon. Outside food and drinks were not allowed, but concession-stand food, soft drinks and a cash bar were available on site at 17 Blair Road, the former Highline Arena.
The tournament also carried a clear fundraising edge. Along with the bracket payout, LADACIN added a gift auction and a 50/50 raffle to keep money moving throughout the day for the nonprofit, which benefits people with disabilities served by the organization. A local news report said last year’s event raised more than $13,500, a useful benchmark for a tournament that has become one of LADACIN’s steady annual fundraisers.
LADACIN says it provides educational, therapeutic, social, residential and support services to infants, children and adults with complex physical and developmental disabilities or delays. The organization serves more than 3,500 individuals and their families and operates 14 facilities in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, giving the cornhole tournament a direct tie to a broader service network rather than a one-off charity drive.
The logistics also showed the event had been planned well in advance. Sponsor deadline was June 17, auction-item deadline was June 20 and registration closed July 2. Tricia LeBaron of community relations was listed as the contact person for the event, which was positioned as a fundraiser with enough prize money and structure to attract a stronger field while still feeding money back into LADACIN’s mission.
