THE EVENT

An Exciting Competition for a Good Cause

Friday, July 28th | 6-8pm
Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park, Picnic Shelter A1

Time for some friendly competition to support non-profits! We have space for 10-15 teams of 5-8 people per team who will compete for Faces of Hope and a second charitable organization of each team’s choice. There will be 5 events with winnings of $2,000 each. Half of all total winnings will be donated to Faces of Hope, and the remaining $1,000 from each game will be donated to the non-profit chosen by the winning team. Kendall has pledged $10,000 toward the games’ prizes, a minimum $5,000 of which will be donated to Faces of Hope. The prize pool will increase with the addition of further sponsors.

We welcome all skill and ability levels! Each team will pay an entry fee: either an early bird fee of $75 until July 5th or a regular fee of $100 after July 6th for each team. Entry fees have been waved starting July 26th. We have 5 teams that have entered already and we want you to join us to make these games amazing! The total registration fees collected will create the prize for the winning team to split amongst the team or to donate to their chosen non-profit. We’re here to have fun, raise money for charity, and play some great games! Kendall will cover the prize money up for up to 15 teams or up to $1,500.

We look forward to seeing you on July 28th!

Kan Jam

Kan Jam is a popular outdoor game that is played with two goals and a frisbee. The objective of the game is to throw the frisbee towards the goal and have your teammate deflect it into the goal for points.

• The game is typically played with four players, divided into two teams.
• Each team takes turns throwing the frisbee towards the goal.
• The team that reaches exactly 21 points first wins the game.
• If a team goes over 21 points, their score is reduced to 15 points.
• If the frisbee hits the ground before reaching the goal, no points are awarded.
• If the frisbee goes into the goal without being deflected by a teammate, the thrower’s team gets one point.
• If the frisbee is deflected into the goal by a teammate, the thrower’s team gets two points.
• If the frisbee goes through the small slot on the front of the goal without being deflected, the thrower’s team wins the game instantly.
• If the frisbee hits the goal but does not go through the front slot, the other team gets a chance to throw the frisbee.
Remember to have fun and play safely!

Korn Hole

Korn hole is a fun outdoor game that is played with two teams of two players each. The game involves throwing bean bags at a raised platform with a hole in it. The objective of the game is to score points by getting the bean bag into the hole or landing it on the platform.

• The game is played with two boards placed 27 feet apart from each other.
• Each board has a hole in it that is 6 inches in diameter and is centered 9 inches from the top of the board.
• Each team consists of two players, and each player takes turns throwing four bean bags at the opposite board.
• The team that scores 21 points first wins the game.
Points are scored as follows:
• 3 points for a bean bag that goes through the hole
• 1 point for a bean bag that lands on the platform and stays there
• 0 points for a bean bag that lands on the platform and falls off
• Cancelled out points if both teams score the same amount in a round
