Cornhole tournament supports local veteran communities in Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW)– Not playing for keeps, but rather for a good cause.

Thirty players split into 15 teams participated in a Saturday cornhole tournament at The Sneaky Beagle in Carolina Forest, with donations going to a local Disabled American Veterans’ chapter.

It was an effort to kick off the regions’ Independence Day celebrations by giving back. And in response, the organization is just as grateful.

30 players split into 15 teams participate in a cornhole tournament on Sunday at The Sneaky Beagle restaurant in Carolina Forest… with donations going to the Disabled American Veterans local chapter.
The tournament started at 1 p.m., ending once there was a winner.

It’s an effort to kick off 4th of July celebrations with giving back and saying thank you to our local vets. And in response, the organization is just as grateful explained Senior Vice Commander of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 30 of Myrtle Beach, Dave Katai.

“Its tremendous the output in this area of good veteran’s support,” said Dave Katai, senior vice president of DAV Chapter 30 in Myrtle Beach. “We are so appreciative of that. All businesses seem to be that way, so we say thank you to all of them.”

Proceeds are funneled directly into the local veteran community of Myrtle Beach to support veterans and their families in need or in times of crisis.
