Sun Devil Football Stadium to host 2020 Cornhole Tournament charity event

Posted

Arizona State University Sun Devil Football Stadium is the host venue of the 2020 Cornhole Bowl VII charity tournament for the first time in the annual event’s history.

A record-number of participants, sponsors and guests are expected from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at Sun Devil Stadium, 500 E. Veterans Way, Tempe.

 The cornhole tournament will happen on the football field. Team registrations has begun, according to a press release

“We are Sundevils helping Sundevils,” said the SDFC President Shawn Daffara in a prepared statement, describing the ‘Grass Roots” organization of volunteers and board member without salaries.

“My goal is to grow the event. We will have more teams, more raffles, more prizes, and more fun!”

Corporate sponsorships are available, offering big and small companies a chance to boost company brands and visibility at the event in front of thousands of participants and guests, especially with the video scoreboard promoting the “companies helping SDFC make a difference in the lives of Sun Devil families,” the release said.

The SDFC president created the cornhole tournament event from Bowl I to Bowl VII. During the years several sponsors have been instrumental in fundraising efforts including sponsor YAM Properties Director Dan Dahl who donates every year to the cornhole charity tournament.

Other sponsors include Four Peaks, Tito’s, Coca-Cola, Sun Devil Club, ASU-Young Professional Club, Cogburns, ‘Speak of the Devils’(podcast) and Ruby Red Media.

The SDFC also has partnered with the Sun Devil Club to help with athletic scholarships to student-athletes pursuing degrees in the medical and/or nursing programs at Arizona State University, according to the release.

With che collaborative efforts of the neighboring residential and business communities, the event will have plenty of food, drink, fun, friendly-competition and “bragging rights” for the tournament winners, added the release.

Sun Devil Family Charities is a 501©3 non-profit organization inspired by Joe Cajic, former 1994 offensive guard, iron man award winner, and captain of the ASU football team, who suddenly needed a life-saving bone marrow transplant.

After the community united to raise money and support, they recognized the ongoing need to help more ASU families, noted the release on how Sun Devil Family Charities was founded and has since provided grants and support to ASU families with financial hardships from unforeseen medical expenses.
