TitleOne Coeur d’Alene announces ninth annual charity cornhole tournament

TitleOne Coeur d’Alene is leaning on a familiar summer draw again, with its ninth annual Charity Cornhole Tournament set for Saturday, July 11, at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. The event will benefit CASA North Idaho, and the company has made the goal plain: raise $20,000 and pack the bracket with 64 teams.

That target gives the tournament real competitive shape before the first bags are thrown. Check-in is set for 11:00 a.m., with the first toss at 12:00 p.m., a midday start that fits the fast, social rhythm that has helped cornhole become one of the most reliable fundraiser formats in the region. Joe Conti is listed as the contact for questions at 208-277-7022 and Joe.Conti@TitleOneCorp.com.

The numbers behind the event show why it has lasted. TitleOne says the tournament has already raised just over $100,000 for CASA North Idaho over the years, with help from community partners, clients, real estate agents, builders, lenders, contractors and friends. That mix matters: cornhole has become less of a novelty than a dependable networking fixture, one that brings together people who may not know each other well but can still compete side by side for a cause they understand.

CASA North Idaho uses those funds to support volunteers who speak in court for abused and neglected children in Idaho’s First Judicial District. The organization serves Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai and Shoshone counties, and says it supports more than 350 child abuse and neglect victims in North Idaho. It also says the number of child abuse and neglect cases assigned a CASA has declined since 2020, even as the regional population has grown, making steady community fundraising more important, not less.

That is where the staying power of this tournament stands out. A ninth annual edition is no longer just a summer recreation stop. It has become a recurring checkpoint for donors, a visible reminder of CASA’s work, and a low-barrier way for businesses and residents to turn a backyard game into measurable support. The formula has held for nine years because it works: simple entry, strong turnout potential, and a direct line from every bracket to advocacy for children who need it most.
