C4C2018:WhoLetTheDogsOut
C4C2018:WhoLetTheDogsOut
It is that time of year again! Time for Caring for Community to do what we do! And we couldn’t be happier about this year!
Each year in about August we start putting feelers out for a beneficiary for our end of year Signature event. Sometimes we bring a couple ideas up and have to sort them out. Some years, its an easy unanimous choice by our board. And then there is this year…
I received a call from Marilyn Jones from Heart of Texas Animal Rescue in mid July. She described to me that they didn’t know anything about cornhole but wanted to try to do “something different” as a fund raiser for her organization this year. And so began C4C2018:WhoLetTheDogsOut.
On Nov 17th we will be back at Big League Dreams for the first time since May of 2010 to host what could be the biggest C4C event ever. The partnership with Heart of Texas will bring some new sponsors and lots more Auction and raffle prizes. . . . AND PUPPIES!
We’d love for you to join us! Get a partner, think up an appropriately “corny” team name and play with us. Opportunities for all skill levels and an overall fun day!
For more details or sponsorship opportunities, please feel free to contact me!
Looking forward to another great event!

It was made aware to me last night during a phone call with a good friend that I need to apologize to our local community. During the conversation, he told me that there was an opportunity available for his business to host an event at a really cool venue. The venue and their operating organization would even have the potential to put up some money to attract even more attendees! The only catch is that the operating organization would probably ask that portions of the registration fees be given to charity.
I listened through the awkward pause, waiting, hoping and excited about what a great opportunity for Caring for Community this would be. The opportunity didn’t come. In fact, I even mentioned that I know a great local charity. His response sunk in my heart. . .”Can you give me a contact for them?”
This is where I realized that I have failed as the director of C4C. While we are very proud of the last 5 years of being a local charity, of the people and organizations that we have been able to help, of the nearly $75,000 that we have been a part of giving away, it saddens me to know that even people that I consider close friends don’t know what we do and how we can help.
Yes, we have a reputation of being “The Cornhole Guys”, and frankly, I’m mostly ok with that. But we want to be “The Charity Guys”, “The Help local Folks Guys”, maybe even “The Fastest Way To Help Someone In Need Guys”
All that to say I’m sorry! I’m sorry that we haven’t done a better job of letting our neighbors, our friends and our community know who we are and what we can do.
Looking forward to a great 2018!!
