Fayetteville, Ark.- The BAGGO & Brisket Benefit, hosted by WhyteSpyder, will hold a BAGGO tournament and brisket cookout at WhyteSpyder’s office located at 1023 E. Millsap Road, Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday, Oct. 23, 2015 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Kendrick Fincher Hydration Foundation (KFHF), a Rogers, Ark. nonprofit organization.

BAGGO® is the official brand name for a bean-bag toss game where two teams of two players toss eight bean bags per round into a hole 20 feet away. Players earn 3 points for bags landing in the hole and 1 point for landing on the board. The first team to reach 21 points wins.

“BAGGO is a very popular game with tailgaters and college students,” said Wylie McIntyre, BAGGO & Brisket Benefit event coordinator. “It’s also a fun way to get the community together for a good cause.”

The event raises funds for the KFHF from BAGGO board sponsorships, BAGGO tournament teams and in-kind donations from local businesses. Board sponsorship is $300 and the sponsor keeps their personalized board and earns a free team entry. A tournament team pays $50 for a 2-person team.

The first place winner of the BAGGO tournament wins $500 along with other prizes. In addition to the tournament, the event is providing free brisket to registered teams along with other food, drinks and chances to win prizes with a five-dollar donation. Attendance to the event is free for sponsors and tournament players.

“Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 for the Kendrick Fincher Hydration Foundation,” said McIntyre. “We are off to a good start, and are seeking more board sponsors and tournament players. The foundation is such a positive organization with wonderful people who provide important hydration education and support to our community.”

“We are honored to be the recipients of the funding from the 3rd annual BAGGO tournament,” said Rhonda Fincher. “It has been a pleasure working with WhyteSpyder.”
