The core component of this tournament is community. In that light, the tournament partners with Second Harvest Food Bank of Winston Salem to help those in our community who may be hungry. The information below is from Second Harvest's Website and it is something we should all keep in mind.
Despite reports of an improving economy, far too many of our neighbors are being left behind. Thousands of Northwest North Carolinians are struggling to put adequate food on the table. Too often, food becomes the "fall guy," when bills for other basic needs have to be paid.
Parents are having to choose between buying food or keeping a roof over their families' head. Children are going without enough nutritious food to flourish and succeed in school. Too many seniors are isolated and struggling to meet their nutritional needs.
1 in 6 people living in Northwest North Carolina struggles to afford all of the food they need, while 1 in every 4 children is going without the essential nutrition they need to thrive. This is our community and these are our neighbors- we take that very seriously. The health and vibrancy of individual lives and communities is at stake.
At Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we provide essential food assistance through a network of partners and work to educate and engage our communities in the elimination of hunger and it causes.
Proceeds from this tournament are donated to the Second Harvest Foodbank, it is sponsored by local business, it provides prizes for tournament winners and gives away fun stuff to the patrons. We will have food vendor(s) again this year and look forward to everyone attending.
Champion will be sponsoring the tournament shirt again this year!
Small Batch in Downtown Winston Salem will be offering a food and beer special on Saturday night.
