Discover how a cornhole tournament fundraiser can become the centerpiece of your next community or corporate event, driving engagement, donations, and sponsor visibility.
Why a Cornhole Tournament Fundraiser Works
When planning a cornhole tournament fundraiser, the goal is to combine entertainment with revenue generation. Cornhole is universally loved, easy to play, and provides a perfect platform for sponsorship and participation fees. Its simplicity makes it accessible to all age groups, ensuring high attendance and engagement.
“Cornhole isn’t just a backyard game — it’s a fundraising powerhouse waiting to be tapped.” – Community Fundraising Insider
Step 1: Treat Your Cornhole Set as a Fundraising Asset
Your cornhole boards are more than just game equipment. They can:
- Display sponsor logos prominently
- Serve as raffle prizes for participants
- Host competitive tournament brackets
- Create branded photo opportunities
Step 2: Monetize Through Tournament Entry Fees
Organize a simple bracket-style cornhole tournament fundraiser. Charge entry fees for each team and provide prizes for winners. Example structure:
- Entry Fee: $20 per team
- Bracket Size: 16 teams
- Prize: Cornhole set or trophy
Revenue from entry fees quickly adds up, creating both excitement and fundraising potential.
Step 3: Offer Sponsorship Opportunities
Local businesses love visibility. Your cornhole boards serve as large-format advertising surfaces that attendees gather around and photograph. Options include:
- Logo placement on boards: $150–$300
- Title sponsorship: $500
- Branded bean bags and signage
Step 4: Sell Raffle Tickets Featuring Your Cornhole Set
Offering your cornhole set as a raffle prize encourages multiple revenue streams. Strategies include:
- Price tickets at $10 each
- Highlight custom or branded sets
- Display the prize prominently near gameplay areas
“100 raffle tickets sold at $10 each equals $1,000 — just from one activity!”
Step 5: Create Additional Engagement Opportunities
Enhance your cornhole tournament fundraiser with interactive features:
- VIP fast-pass gameplay for donations
- “Beat the Champion” paid attempts
- Corporate-sponsored team brackets
- Branded photo stations with QR codes for donations
Post-Event Revenue Opportunities
Your cornhole boards don’t have to retire after one event. Consider:
- Renting sets for other events
- Selling branded cornhole merchandise
- Using sets as donor incentives for future campaigns
“Highly Recommend!”
“First time using this supplier and WOW are we happy. We did a self-promo of their Tailgate Cornhole and their Fast Four game. They are beautiful and they arrived in under 2 weeks… to Canada! Ordering was very easy, uploading our very large artwork file was easy, and dealing with them has been a breeze. Jackie, the account manager, is helpful and great to deal with. Highly recommend.”
– A Satisfied Client
“Hidden Gem of a Supplier!”
“I am totally wowed by their customer service. Quick responses, patient artwork services, and much faster than quoted production. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s rare that a supplier treats us better than we treat our customers. I often have the thought, ‘wow…if I treated my customers this way….’ With this supplier, those same words are going through my head, but I’m thinking we need to step up our game. As I was getting impatient on our 8th round of artwork (we turned it over to them at round 5), they were kind and responsive and just got it done. Hidden gem of a supplier I had no idea existed. Thanks—well done.”
– A Happy Customer
“Fastest Shipping Ever!”
“This is THE supplier for cornhole boards!! Friendly, quick response, and received an art proof the same day. Shipping was FAST and I mean FAST. Received the order two days after placing it. From sending the artwork to customer receiving the product was 4 business days.”
– Thrilled Customer
