SILA is once again hosting our charity cornhole tournament after-hours at the conference.  Save the date to join us outdoors in the Eventide Garden from 5-7pm October 22.  Stop by for a drink and a bite to eat!  Enjoy the CORNAMENT!  Mingle with other attendees!  A big “thank you” to all who plan to participate because all proceeds from this tournament go to support the SILA Foundation Post-Secondary Scholarship Program!

Here are some important things to know:

• Spectator $30 | Player $40 | Team $80

• 10/1-10/19:  Player/Team online pre-registration.  Register below.  Confirmation email with instructions will be sent to all who pre-register.

• 10/20-10/22:  Player/Team/Spectator in-person registration.  Visit SILA Foundation Table in Eventide (Exhibitor Hall).  Single Players, Teams & Spectators are all welcomed!  If you don't already have a partner, no worries ... we'll match you with another player after you sign-up.

How to play?  The game will feature brackets where only the best of 64 teams move to the next round.  Teams consist of TWO players.  In addition to the championship belts, we'll once again be awarding plaques for 2^nd Place, Best Team Name and Most Team Spirit.

New for 2024 – COSTUME CONTEST!    All tournament attendees (players & spectators alike) are encouraged to wear a costume.  Attendees determine the winners who are presented with a prize.  Categories include Best Costume, Best Conference Depiction, Best Celebrity, and the Party Pooper for those without a costume.  Returning is the HAIL MARY CHALLENGE where you can show off your skills as all tournament attendees will have one chance to make an almost impossible hole-in-one to enter to win a VISA gift card.   This year, donate during the tournament to earn additional chances!

Do you need to register multiple teams or do you need to pay at the conference?  We can make that happen!  First submit the form, then contact Mary Ellen Hammack at mhammack@sila.org.
