My family grew up playing horseshoes whenever we had a family gathering.  It became a right of passage for us kids when we got to play with our parents. Over the years, horseshoes have been replaced by cornhole.  I suppose it makes sense.  A little less dangerous.  Easy to transport.  And anyone could do it.  Sandbags are pretty easy to throw.

What is you could play in a sanctioned cornhole tournament, and know that 100% of the proceeds would go to help out a local charity that does so much to help others?  Well now you have that chance.
