MEDINA – Operation Honor is trying a cornhole tournament on Nov. 8 as a fundraiser for local veterans.

The event is a shift away from a 5K in Medina that Operation Honor had been organizing around Veterans Day. The new cornhole tournament also includes a basket raffle.

The event will be at the Knights of Columbus in Medina.  The tournament starts at 1 p.m., and baskets will be drawn at 5 p.m.

Doors will open at noon for practice and the basket raffle. There will be drinks and food available all day. Spots are still available for the cornhole tournament.  The registration fee is $60 per team. The basket raffle is open to the public.

To register, contact Jenn Thom, Operation Honor director, at 585-356-9596 or operationhonor18@gmail.com.

Basket raffle donations can be dropped off at 415 West Ave., Suite 2.

Operation Honor is a non-profit organization in Orleans County that provides financial assistance and support to local military veterans and their families. It helps with utility bills, car payments and heating pellets, and it also supports other veteran-focused initiatives, such as a van service for medical appointments.
