Get ready to toss at Finally Family Homes’ upcoming cornhole tournament, with proceeds going to help former-foster youth achieve success.

College-aged foster youth often struggle to get their basic needs met, including housing, food, and toiletries. The funds from the cornhole tournament and other events held by Finally Family Homes support these young adults, not only helping them to survive, but to thrive.

“We want it to be a fun, family-friendly event, everyone is welcome to join the festivities,” FFH Executive Director Christina Dronen said.

The cornhole tournament is set for Saturday, Nov. 12 at Lucky Luke Brewing in Valencia. The tournament begins at 11 a.m., and last-minute registration opens at 10:30 a.m.

Teams of two can register to play cornhole for $60, or $30 per person; spectators are free to watch at no cost.

Beverages will be provided by Lucky Luke Brewing and a portion of those proceeds will go to supporting the work at Finally Family Homes. A food truck will be on-site, and attendees can bid on items at the silent auction.

Former foster youth and author Jessica Castillo is scheduled to have a table at the event, and will be signing copies of her book, “Trash Bag of Memories.”

Finally Family Homes partners with college-aged foster youth to help them achieve lasting success in life. They help provide for recipients’ basic needs, and, just as importantly, help the young adults feel seen and celebrated. Last December, Finally Family Homes provided gifts for 101 foster youth including those connected to our local DCFS office.

In May, FFH worked with community partners to provide 56 high school and college graduation gifts for locally connected foster youth.

FFH is grateful for sponsorships from Brian Clark’s Engine Dynamics, Victory Martial Arts in Stevenson Ranch, Eighth & Rail, Egg Plantation, DVD Depot, MarNaturals Body Care, Rodan & Fields Consultant Karen Mae Hernandez, Monika’s Tacos, Homegirl Cali, and Kathy Song from State Farm Insurance.

FFH is still accepting sponsorships and donations for the silent auction. All sponsors are offered a free vendor table at the event as well as other opportunities to share about their businesses.
