Second Annual “Cornhole for a Cure” Raises 12K

The Lions Club of Dover, Rollinsford and South Berwick drew a large crowd in their Second Annual “Cornhole for a Cure” fundraiser on August 12 at the Dunn Farm in Berwick, Maine.  Almost $12,000 was raised with $6000 going directly to childhood cancer research, in partnership with Dartmouth Health. Additional funds raised will further the activities of the Lions Club locally, particularly in the areas of conservation, vision, hunger, and childhood cancer.

The event was officiated by Joe Be of INFAMOUScorNHole. The weather was perfect as 40-50 teams, including players of all levels, participated in the friendly competition.  Raffles, prizes, tee shirts, a barbecue and music rounded out the day bringing smiles to all involved.

The local business community rallied to support this event with sponsors including SC Digital/Loud Canvas Media, M&T Bank, Jennifer Halteman Insurance, Jayco Disposal, Key Auto Group, BankNH, High Effect Web Design, Insurcomm, Kennebunk Savings, Kind Farms, Seacoast Tree Care, Somersworth Nissan, J. Lapierre Construction and Servpro.

Dartmouth Health Children’s is New Hampshire’s only children’s hospital. According to Sarah E. Earnest, Development Officer of the Dartmouth Cancer Center, Dartmouth is poised to have a direct and immediate impact on preventing cancer in children as a national leader in cancer research. Dartmouth researchers are working to refine approaches, protocols, and education for pediatric screening in a way that empowers doctors and parents — and saves children’s lives.

The Lions Club of Dover, Rollinsford and South Berwick is a member of the Lions Club International, which began in 1917.  Their motto is “We Serve.”  The club gathers on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at Cara Irish Pub in Dover to find ways to improve their community. All are welcome to join.

Directed by Carol MacDonald

 

Seven guests, a newly hired secretary and two staff are gathered at a manor house on an isolated island by an unknown absentee host and are killed off one-by-one. They work together to determine who the killer is before it’s too late. Each guest brought to the island is accused of an unprovable murder. As the body count rises, guests grapple with their personal feelings of guilt in different ways.
