Security Pros Help Raise $15K at Mission 500 Cornhole Tournament

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.

Mission 500, based here, is a nonprofit organization that works closely with the security industry to serve the needs of children and communities in crisis in the U.S.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers.

When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
