Sunday, April 27th | 11am - 3pm

This signature event directly benefits children, youth and families in Santa Clara County.

The inaugural “Toss for a Cause” Cornhole Tournament was first held in April, 2022 and has raised over a $150,000 for children, youth and family programs in Santa Clara County. This family-friendly event can also be used as an opportunity to bond with your colleagues or network with a new community, while at the same time supporting our underserved youth and neighbors. Guests will be able to play cornhole, taste craft beer, have some good food and take in sites from North America's largest outdoor bar. “Toss for a Cause” will continue to be a great success and we hope you can join us next year!

Catholic Charities of Santa Clara helps people of all cultures and beliefs rise up out of poverty and overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency and wellness. Leading 38 different programs with over 500 employees, supporting 2,500 students in our afterschool programs across 23 different sites and serving 100,000 clients annually. We are innovating to disrupt poverty—reimagining social justice, social service programs, both demonstrating and advocating for new methods and models to serve ALL people in an ever changing Santa Clara County.

Catholic Charities would not be what it is today without advocates and supporters like John Hogan. His quiet dedication to our mission to alleviate, reduce, and prevent poverty in Santa Clara County has been instrumental in raising awareness, raising funds, and raising the stakes on the work we do. Join us for a VERY rare siting of John and Sammy the Rabbit, Excite Credit Union's very own mascot on Sunday, April 27th at PayPal Park.

Along with his colleagues at Excite Credit Union, he has been working with and supporting Catholic Charities for the past six years in some very specific and meaningful ways:

  • Supporting the refugee foster care program throughout the region, working with remarkable teens and young adults that have been victims of atrocities throughout the world and are now starting new lives in the Bay Area.

  • Participating in the Franklin-McKinley Children’s Initiative, which is improving safety, education and health throughout one of our most diverse and inspiring school districts.

  • Providing financial education and valuable information about children’s savings and access to safe, fair financial products and services.

About

This great event will provide a unique opportunity for community members to learn about Catholic Charities and the dedication focused on serving our children, youth and families in Santa Clara County.

Did you know PayPal Park is the home ground of the MLS San Jose Earthquakes AND BayFC? The soccer-specific venue was known as Avaya Stadium when it opened in 2015. Light blue, dark blue, and grey chairs (the Earthquake’s colors) span the seating area. Interestingly, the color pattern contains the binary-coded message “GO EQ.” It IS in Silicon Valley. A lucky fan figured out the code and won a trip to the 2018 World Cup Final!
