The Warren Regional Juvenal
Detention Center has once again selected the Wha Bah Steakhouse Saloon as the
location of choice for its 2010 annual pitch fest. The last four years the WRJD Corn Toss Classic
has been a featured event for the Detention Center. Local and regional
players gather at the Classic to give their best pitch in corn toss competition
and support to a great cause.
This year the WRJD Center has chosen
American Cornhole Organization, the ACO, to sanction the tournament for this
special event in return for in-kind marketing efforts to build up the event.
The ACO specializes in running social and professional corn toss
tournaments.
“Bringing the ACO National Cornhole
Tournament experience to our annual event will make it that much more special,
we couldn’t be more excited,” said Myron Dockery, Fiscal Manager WRJDC.
Mark your calendar for September 25,
2010. The Wha Bah Steakhouse Saloon, in Bowling Green, Kentucky is the place to
be. A doubles tournament will take place
from 12pm-4pm and winners will take home cash prizes. Come alone, bring a
neighbor, or your corn toss buddy and plan on a pitching good time.
Proceeds from the 2010 Corn Toss
Classic provide the Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Center’s Citizen
Advisory Committee with the means to fund several programs and projects for “at
risk” youth in South Central Kentucky. The majority of the proceeds from
this tournament fund the College Heights Scholarship fund, which allows youth
detained at WRJDC to enroll in college courses through Western Kentucky
University. Recently, proceeds have purchased books for the WRJDC
library, supported facility programming, and purchased equipment to further the
educational needs of the youth population at WRJDC.
The Mission of the Warren Regional
Juvenile Detention Center is to provide a safe, secure, and caring facility for
youth who require secure detention for their own protection, or that of the community,
as well as to assure their appearance as needed for legal proceedings. WRJDC
services 15 counties in the South Central Kentucky area. Annually
approximately 1500 youth pass through the doors of WRJDC.
Plan today for fun at the WRJD Corn
Toss Classic on September 25, 2010.
