Description
Join us for the inaugural Battle for the Boards — a Pig Roast & Cornhole Tournament benefiting Purple Heart veterans through Lake Erie Walleye Warriors, a chapter of Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation.
Enjoy an afternoon of great food, friendly competition, raffles, and community while helping support an incredible mission. Proceeds from this event help provide all-expenses-paid Lake Erie fishing experiences for combat wounded Purple Heart veterans, giving them an opportunity to connect, heal, and enjoy time on the water surrounded by fellow veterans and supporters.
Event features include:
• Pig roast dinner with sides
• Cornhole tournament ($10 Entry Fee)
• Chinese raffle baskets and prizes
• Silent auction items
• Gun raffles
• Special raffle opportunity for a custom WWIA Henry H9 Big Boy .30-30 lever action rifle — one of only 25 specially made for Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation
• Only 300 raffle tickets available for the custom Henry rifle- tickets sold separately
• Community, camaraderie, and support for our veterans
Whether you’re competing in cornhole, coming for the food, trying your luck at one of our raffles, or simply supporting a meaningful cause, every ticket purchased helps make a difference in the lives of Purple Heart veterans.
