Cornhole cures cancer

By Sarah Jane Rosser, Staff Writer

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 The Cancer Research Fund is the beneficiary of proceeds from the first annual Cornhole Cures Cancer tournament at Carolina Cutters in Norwood, held Saturday with approximately 200 people in attendance, either watching or playing.

Owner Chris Hudson decided a Cornhole tournament, in conjunction with his grand opening, would be a great way to get people together for a good cause. The event raised almost $400 for the Cancer Research Fund.

“I’m surprised that we had such a great turnout for it being the first one we’ve had,” he said.

Four boards were set up and the first of two double elimination tournaments began.

Third place went to Jody Cook and John Cole and second place finishers were Jason Schwab and Eric Egley, also American Cornhole professionals from Spartanburg, S.C.

Top finishers were Justin Cook and Kyle Marks, bringing home $450. Third place finishers received $150 and second place received $250.

Hudson urged everyone to keep cancer patients in their prayers once the first double elimination tournament was over.

“This is going for a good cause,” he said.

Hudson had an aunt pass away from cancer approximately two months ago which inspired the annual tournament.

“I thought it would be as good as any charity to give to,” he said.

Hudson said they will have the tournament every year. Hudson’s barber shop is located on U.S. 52 South in Norwood.
