What is the Throwdown?

The Throwdown is our annual charity cornhole tournament for Denver area professionals who want to enjoy an afternoon outside tossing bags, while supporting a great local educational non-profit. This is a fun tournament with our sponsors, donors, and program partners- no experience is needed to participate! This is a great opportunity to meet others who are supporting local causes in Colorado. 

Details:

Check-in will begin at 9:00am. Start off your morning with some time to network with amazing Cottonwood supporters with a fantastic Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar to kick off the day. The tournament will start promptly at 10:00am and wrap up by 2:00pm-ish. 

The tournament will start with a 4-team round-robin with 2 people per team. Each team in the round robin will play one another, record their wins and scores, and then the top 2 teams from each round robin will advance to the winners' bracket. 

A company may choose to pay for their entire round-robin bracket and invite key prospects, customers, clients, vendors, employees, etc., or they may choose to challenge companies from another industry altogether. The benefit is that you get to play with people you want to network with for the first few hours of the tournament, and it will help keep the tournament more fun and casual.
