The Event
A backyard game. A big-league cause.
Year one blew past its goal - over $16,000 raised and a hundred guys throwing bags for four straight hours. Year two is bigger: more teams, more sponsors, more money for Haven House.
The Day
Live music, food truck, cold kegs, raffle prizes, and four hours of the most competitive backyard cornhole in the Triangle. Rain or shine - the courts are covered.
The Cause
Every entry fee, sponsorship, and raffle ticket goes to Haven House Services - no cut, no overhead, no exceptions. Last year that meant $16,389.75 for local youth.
Four regions. One champion.
The bracket pits the four Greater Carpex F3 regions against one another. Bring your best duo and defend your territory.
Why We Throw

Haven House Services has spent 50+ years helping young people in Wake County who are facing homelessness, crisis, and instability. Last year they served 2,029 youth - the most in their history - and nearly all of their services are free.
