EVENT RECAP

The Silva Family Fundraiser brought 12 teams and 24 players together at Gene’s Bar & Grill for a day of doubles cornhole in support of Louis Silva and his family. After a devastating fire destroyed their home and belongings, the tournament gave the local cornhole community an opportunity to come together and help a family facing an incredibly difficult time.

Northern Minnesota Gnomes, Christopher Nix and Susy Nix, finished the tournament in first place. TNT, Shawn Lyberg and Cheri Lyberg, took second, while Coppershed Cornhole, Austin Monsrud and Jay Billberg, finished third.

By the end of the event, $625 had been raised for the Silva family. More important than the final standings was the support shown throughout the day, proving once again that cornhole can be about much more than competition—it can be a way to bring people together and help members of our community when they need it most.
