Tournament is April 13 at Bavarian Hall

The Center for Child Justice, Blair County’s Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) and a program of Family Services Inc., announced the launch of its Toss Out Child Abuse Cornhole Benefit.

This set team, double elimination tournament hopes to raise funds for the CAC and raise awareness around the seriousness of child abuse in the community.

The event will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Bavarian Hall, Altoona. The doors will open at 3 p.m.

Bulldog Baggers will provide the tournament logistics. There will be cash prizes for the top three teams: $500 for first place, $250 for second place, and $50 for third place.
