The 2026 Emily K Center Cornhole Tournament will take place on August 22 and tickets will go on sale in July, 2026. Stay tuned for more details!
The Emily K Center Cornhole Tournament is a friendly indoor competition for players of all ages and skill levels. There will be prizes, food, activities, and fun for all. The Center is wholly donor funded and all proceeds from the Cornhole Tournament will support our students and their educational ambitions.
We are tremendously grateful for the many community partners who support our students on their educational journeys through event sponsorships. Interested in sponsoring our 2026 tournament? Reach out to Christin Danchi at 919-680-0308 or cdanchi@emilyk.org
Parking is available at and around the Center. Click here to view a parking map.
All players must use the boards provided at the tournament. Players may bring and use their own bags, but not required.
Walk-up registration on the day of the tournament will be accommodated if space is available. However, we strongly encourage all teams to pre-register. You’ll get a discount on registration AND it will help make sure we have enough boards and bags ready to go!
This is a bring-your-own-partner event, so please sign up with your teammate. We will not be pairing partners at the tournament.
Due to time constraints for placing T-shirt orders, anyone who registers AFTER the deadline will not be guaranteed an event day T-shirt.
The event will take place rain or shine! The tournament and vendors will be inside the Center’s gym.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund once your team has been registered. However, we can switch out players if someone on your team can no longer make it. Please notify us of any changes prior to the event day.
Prize money will be paid in the form of one $250 check per player for the championship competitive team and $100 check per player for the second-place competitive team. All other winners will receive non-monetary prizes.
