WEST IRONDEQUOIT SCHOOLS!
5TH CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT RAISES
A RECORD $16,422
FOR THE FOUNDATION!
A team with an odd name, "Team Name," won the 5th annual West Irondequoit Foundation Cornhole Tournament on September 27th at the Irondequoit Sports Center! Team Name bolted to a 17-0 lead in the Finals against Felicia/Jamie and never looked back. Dave Maynes and Kevin Madalena comprised "Team Name." Maynes was half of last year's championships squad, Big Stacks, too.
The big winner was our Foundation. The event raised an all-time Cornhole Tourney-high of $16,422. Thank you to the local business community for sponsoring our event! Thank you also to our title sponsor, Diamond Packaging (Karla Fichter), the Irondequoit Sports Center (Greg Genrich) for graciously donating its awesome facility, drink sponsor Rising Storm Brewing Co., and food sponsor, Chick-fil-A Irondequoit! The five WIF Cornhole Tournaments have now raised approximately $58,500!
