MIAMI — Mission 500, in partnership with Moms in Security Global Outreach, hosted its first-ever cornhole fund-raiser tournament to bring attention to underprivileged children and families in need across the United States.

Held Dec. 11 at Kirkbride Hall in Stony Point, N.Y., more than 20 teams competed in the double elimination tournament, which raised more than $15,000. The event also was held to bring awareness to help end human trafficking.

Greg Dabice of Defined Marketing and Kenny Frattini, principal of Hartshorn Elementary School, were announced as tournament winners.

“Our first annual cornhole tournament turned out to be a really fun regional event that raised a significant amount of money to help children in need,” says Ken Gould, chairman, Mission 500. “As we close out 2021, I want to thank all our individual and corporate sponsors, dedicated volunteers and the staff at Mission 500 who continue to step up to the plate to help children and families in need across the U.S. We look forward to building on all of your efforts to make 2022 an even brighter year.”

The 2021 Cornhole Tournament was sponsored by Assa Abloy, Beacon Protection, Credo Cyber Consulting, Dahua, Engineered Security, i-PRO, ICD Group, ITG Larson, Ken Gould Consulting, Milestone Systems and Sage Integration.

Organizers say they look forward to hosting another Cornhole Tournament in 2022.
