Cornhole Tournament for a Cause

Join other local businesses and individuals passionate about helping foster youth in our community. Please note the event will include a buffet lunch, networking, and other activities for those who want to support but are not interested in cornhole.

Freedom Youth Foundation (FYF) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that is solely focused on meeting the unmet needs of unwell, at-risk and foster youth.

We believe every child deserves to have the resources to live a financially free life as they approach adulthood, not reliant on programs or government assistance. We want to empower each child by giving them the tools and training before it’s too late.

We look forward to having a fun and successful event with your participation. As always, 100% of the proceeds from the event will go directly to FYF and be used to support our local programs in the Treasure Valley that give at-risk youth the ability to excel.

All registered guests will enjoy lunch, and for those that sign up to be a participant in the cornhole tournament that will take place after lunch.

At lunch, we will provide an update on FYF along with photos and stories of our impact!

We look forward to seeing you at the event and would love if you would share the details with any of your friends who may be interested.

About the Cause

Today, Freedom Youth Foundation serves over 3,500 youth a year and that number is growing quickly.

It all began in the hills of Novi Sad, Serbia, where 150 youth and a basketball brought about a new initiative. The U.S. Embassy in Serbia reached out to me to lead a peace camp in partnership with I Came to Play, a program aimed at promoting peace and unity in the former Yugoslavian region.

During my 26-hour journey back to the US, the idea for a non-profit organization dedicated to serving foster youth took shape. Since its establishment in November 2011, our vision has expanded to include a range of programs and initiatives, including sports clinics, trophy recycling, financial literacy workshops, a scholarship fund, and more.

I am grateful to the numerous volunteers and donors who have made this journey a reality. With their support, we have been able to impact the lives of thousands of young people who might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
