Also at the event, players donated non-perishable goods as part of the ACL's Cornhole Kicks Hunger campaign. A handful of people donated money so we went to the store and purchased additional items with those funds. The items benefit the St. Mary's Food Bank in Phoenix. Anyone who participated was entered into a raffle for a free entry into an upcoming cornhole tournament. Congratulations to Bryan Burk for having his ticket pulled. He opted to take a free entry into the 2020 Arizona State Cornhole Championships. Thank you for everyone who participated in the food drive.
