LOCAL & CORPORATE SPONSORS

Corporate Sponsors will have a tremendous impact from the grassroots level up to the Pros, especially in Canada where Cornhole is relatively new. Sponsors will also be vital in the growth of the sport over the next few years by helping us promote the sport.

Partners will give us the opportunity to host National Championships and give us the platform to be televised on National TV.

We hope to connect with local sponsors as well and make Cornhole possible in any city in our Country. Awareness is key and sponsors can get us to the next level. We want to encourage new Canadians, women, girls and inclusion of all to try our sport.

WELCOME TO CORNHOLE CANADA

The Canadian government has accepted Cornhole Canada as a registered non profit organization. We are the first of its kind in our Country and the official sanctioning body for our sport in Canada.

With the steady growth of the game in the United States it was time to get Cornhole on the map in Canada. Cornhole Canada was established in 2019 to provide athletes a structured environment for all levels of play.

Cornhole is considered a ‘backyard’ game but is now played in facilities indoors and outdoors all year long. It is a very easy game to play but very hard to master! It can be played by all people regardless of age, colour, ethnic origin, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or socio-economic status. Athletes can play at a recreational, social or pro level which makes our game for everyone!

Over the coming months we will be working on the following:

  • having all current leagues in our Country registered
  • register all Provincial/Territory Associations with the government
  • plan to host our first National Championships in 2021
  • establish Local and National Sponsors
  • make connections with Sport Partners
  • market and promote

Over the last year we have completed the following:

  • all by-laws and policies (constitution)
  • official rulebook
  • board of directors elected

Please keep informed by visiting our website regularly and join our mailing list by clicking here.

Mission Statement
To help develop and promote Cornhole at the Provincial, National and International level for all athletes with the goal of making Cornhole an Olympic sport. We strive to be the best amateur sport of its kind offering safe play, fair competition and inclusion for all. And for all players, staff and spectators a fun and enjoyable experience every time a bag is thrown!

Thanks

Cornhole Canada
Board of Directors
