MedCity News Cornhole Tournament 2010

The cornhole tournament and picnic starts at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19 at Gateway Plaza in Cleveland. You'll get a little time to size up the competition before the games begin at 5 p.m.
We're looking for people in the medical industry to come out and show off their cornhole skills, while enjoying picnic fare and beer (yes, there will be alcohol for sale this year).

We'll play, rain or shine. We take it that seriously.
Remember last year? Cleveland Clinic Innovations beat out about 30 other teams. Their winnings: a cornhole set, a $100 catering gift certificate and the coveted title of MedCity News Medical Cornhole Tournament champions.
More than 100 people took part in the fun in 2009. They came from hospitals, medical manufacturers, insurers and other medically related organizations, such as: Ohio State Medical Association, University Hospitals, Steris Corp., MetroHealth Medical Center, Invacare, BioEnterprise and Medical Mutual. Did we mention that there are some great networking opportunities at an event like this?

And this year, we're kicking the competition up a notch by opening it up to people in the Minneapolis-area medical industry as well. It's only fair, since we have an office there now.

We are invoking a small ($25/team) registration fee, just to keep things legit and make sure everyone shows up. Fans are welcome to attend for FREE, but must pay a small fee to eat.

Oh, and by the way, we are aggressively seeking corporate sponsors for the event. Thanks already to Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Thunder::Tech and StudioThink for their support. If your company/organization is looking to get in front of an engaged healthcare industry audience, this event is a bargain opportunity! Packages are available in all shapes and sizes.

The tournament is limited to 32 teams. Medical industry participants only. First come, first serve.
