Tournament Fundraisers for Emergency, Disaster & Crisis

Mobilize support and raise dollars quickly and effectively when it matters most.

Align your Brand with Community Involvement

After a devastating loss, one neighborhood turned to connection—and a cornhole tournament fundraiser. Their first-ever memorial tournament raised thousands and brought the community together during a time when they needed it most.

  • Memorial and legacy events are held in memory of someone who has passed away or to honor someone who has contributed a remarkable legacy. These events give friends, family, and supporters a way to come together, share stories, and raise funds for cause typically related to the person being honored.

  • When planning an event to honor someone’s legacy, focus on elements that reflect who they were and what mattered to them. Share their story through photos, favorite quotes, or a short tribute that highlights their values, passions, and impact. Consider incorporating symbolic touches—like a moment of silence, their favorite color in the event design, or a playlist of songs they loved. Look for ways to create opportunities for others to share memories and participate personally and meaningfully. Legacy is about connection—help people feel it.

  • Keep a steady pace for a memorial tournament, with a combination of round robin and possibly an elimination round or two. This provides some friendly competition and an opportunity to incorporate fundraising elements like mulligans or do-overs, skills-based side games, raffles, long-toss pools, and more. Be sure to award some prizes and leave space for awards and a few words.

Key Benefits of Corporate Events

  • Build Community Goodwill

    Align your brand and company values with causes important to your community. Tournaments are fun, active events that get people engaged and interested.

  • Employee Engagement & Retention

    Engagement and buy-in reduce employee turnover and strengthen teams. Give-back events are a powerful way to generate both.

  • Brand & Values Alignment

    Put your brand and company values into action, supporting causes and connecting people in ways that live our your mission.

  • Strategic Tax Advantages

    Optimize tax benefits while advancing your mission. Strategic fundraising events can deliver tax efficiencies alongside positive community impact.

  • Advance Client & Partner Relationships

    Invite clients and partners to join a charity tournament through sponsorship, by playing in the event, or perhaps as a co-host.

  • Positive PR & Marketing

    Fundraising events generate positive PR through earned, owned, and paid channels, including social media, traditional media, and word of mouth.
