On May 21, Leadership Raleigh hosted Boards, Bags, and Books at Lynnwood Brewing Concern (LBC). This cornhole tournament had a great turnout of 30 teams going head to head to win the title of champion. The winners were the Moneybags team comprised of Alex Babbitt and Ross Bell. Great job guys!
The group sold $5 raffle tickets for a weekend away at North Myrtle Beach. In addition, LBC generously donated $1 from each beer to Read and Feed. So far, the event proceeds are $1,300+, but that doesn't include the LBC donation.
The tournament was a great success that Leadership Raleigh plans to make an annual event.
Hunter Murray, Leadership Raleigh member:
"Our Leadership Raleigh Team began volunteering at a Read & Feed program site in January. We were amazed at the energy and excitement the children had for learning and connecting with younger professionals. From our volunteer experiences, we really wanted to create an event geared towards raising awareness, recruiting a younger volunteer pool, and also raising funds. Thus, Boards, Bags, and Books was born!
The event brought together nearly 125 younger professionals and introduced them to the Read & Feed. It was truly a pleasure to volunteer with the organization but also be part of a project that brought people together for a wonderful cause."
