The Hoover City Schools Foundation raised about $4,000 with its first cornhole tournament Saturday at The Village at Brock’s Gap.
Thirty-eight teams, including eight competitive teams and 30 social teams, took part in the event, helping raise money for the foundation, which supports teachers in Hoover schools.
The father-and-son team of Michael and Caleb Rogers, known as Triple Crown Cornhole, won the competitive division and received $200 for it. Meanwhile, Brandon Brown and Rob Cannon, known as The Crimson Slide, won the social division and won gift certificates to The Whole Scoop ice cream shop and Chick-fil-A.
Jason DeLuca, president of the foundation, said he was pleased with the turnout for the tournament, especially considering this is a new event for the foundation. It didn’t raise near as much money as the Denim and Dining event the foundation puts on in the spring, but it has helped the foundation broaden its reach, DeLuca said.
The foundation, which was created in 1992, uses proceeds from its fundraisers to support enhanced academics in Hoover schools, including professional development and grants for teachers with innovative projects and projects that support science, technology, engineering and math education.
