Cornhole for the Troops Project

Jeremy — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:09:35 +0000

Members of the CornholePlayers.net community have started a movement to send Cornhole boards and bags over to our men and women fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan!

With help from a group called Soldiers Angels, the community members are hoping to get a few sets of Cornhole boards sent to the troops.

To get things started, forum member Milky has volunteered to buy the material and build the first set of boards. Members of the site will come up with a design, make it, and ship it to North Carolina (Soldiers Angels will cover the overseas shipping costs). PayPal donations will help to cover the shipping costs to NC.

See the forum thread for full information.

The first set will be built & customized by Milky, and will be a REALLY nice set. We didn’t want to stop there, though. We’ve teamed up with iCornhole.com to send additional boards! For every $110 we’re able to raise, we will be able to send a set of painted boards, with bags, to the troops!

If you’d like to help, you can send donations through PayPal.
Donate via PayPal to: mmiehlke@comcast.net
PLEASE be sure to put “Cornhole For The Troops” in the message box.

Even if you can only give a bit, remember that every little bit helps! As we head toward the 4th of July, remember the troops, and help us send Cornhole Boards overseas!

Thanks!!

The Times Herald ran an article today to feature the awesome cornhole board making skills of Mark Miehlke, better known as “Milky” in the Cornhole Players Forum.

The full story tells how Milky first learned of the game in preparation for a Jimmy Buffett show. It goes on to tell how Milky’s building and customization skills have turned his new hobby into a quickly growing small business!

Cornhole Fundraising

Here’s a cool story about a teacher and some students in Kentucky. Student volunteers are making Cornhole boards, with all proceeds going to benefit the programs and services at the school.

Not your usual fundraiser, but with orders going past the holidays and in to 2009, it sounds like a big hit!
