Carson Palmer Pitches A Great Cause on American Cornhole Boards

The Game of Cornhole has the attention of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and Lighthouse Youth Services of Cincinnati is cheering Who-Dey.

On Saturday September 1, 2007 the Cincinnati Bengals practice field was dotted with American Cornhole Tournament Series Cornhole Boards for the Second Annual Carson Palmer Cornhole Classic.

The Cornhole Classic is a fun-filled charity outing much different from a charity golf outing. The entire playing area is confined to the Cincinnati Bengals practice field allowing guests and participants to have much more one on one contact than at a golf outing. Whether signing autographs, talking football, or pitching cornhole bags, the atmosphere is relaxed and engaging.

The game of cornhole is simple. Pitch a bag of corn toward a 6" hole cutout on a 2'' x 4'' elevated board. In this event all boards are American Cornhole Boards. These are the best cornhole boards available. The boards are made of hardwood with all rounded edges, and the AC Cornhole Bags are the Official Tournament Series SoftTouch Bags, so excuses are limited to the individual not to the equipment.

The participants at this event vary in size and demeanor. Each having their own special cornhole bag delivery and style, hoping to be good enough to win the round they are playing in so as to avoid elimination and go on to the next round.

Proceeds from the Carson Palmer Cornhole Classic go to Cincinnati based Lighthouse Youth Services. Carson is a strong supporter of the Emancipated Youth Program of Lighthouse Youth Services that provides supervised apartment living and aftercare services for youth 18 and over who have been discharged from HCJFS custody.

It''s true the Carson Palmer pass game is setting records for the Cincinnati Bengals, however it is his cornhole pitch that is making a difference in lives at Lighthouse Youth Services.
