Due to the feedback we've received about this summers heat wave, we have decided to postpone the Disc Golf tournament until the Fall when things are cooler.
We're sorry we had to postpone things, but we've had several players who were unable to finish an entire game due to the summer heat and we would like everyone to be able to compete as comfortably as possible.
We'll keep you posted on Disc when the new tournament rolls around. Stay tuned though as we should be having another video game related event before the end of summer.

New game supported: Disc Golf!
We are excited to announce that we will now be supporting Disc Golf tournaments in the Fight for Hope series. Not a video game, but the actual sport.
Our first tournament is in the works and will be announced shortly. I do know that we will be holding the tournament at Steels Creek park and it will run throughout the month of July. The rules and prizes will be announced in the coming week.
If you've never played, now would be a great opportunity to give it a shot. We have several seasoned players that are more than willing to give guidance to beginners. The game is easy to pick up and is a great excuse to get some fun exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
To familiarize yourself more with this sport visit the Professional Disc Golf Association website which has lots of information to get you started.

Fight for Hope 1 Results
First and foremost I'd like to say that we had an outstanding turnout and were able to raise $210 for the Tornado disaster relief. That's outstanding and I'd like to thank everyone who attended as well as those who just donated for making it possible. Your contributions will make a big difference in the lives of those affected by the recent disaster.
It seemed like everyone had a great time and were excited to attend future events as well, so expect more similar events in the future.
Special thanks to Troy Bowers for hosting our event at his place and for throwing the awesome after tournament cookout for everyone. Also thank you to everyone who purchased or donated towards the food we had, it was great.
Special thanks to Travis Smithson for crafting the awesome trophies for the events. These were some of the coolest things I've ever seen available at a tournament.

Operation NPLH
Here is some information on some additional fund raisers happening in the area to give aid to the communities affected by the tornados on April 28th.
Operation No Place Like Home: The Relief Project is an idea that was designed by a group of friends from Glade Spring, VA. Our community, and neighboring communities were caught by surprise when a deadly tornado struck them in the middle of the night on April 28, 2011. Our families and friends are in the area that was affected, and no matter where we were in our lives the tornado truly hit home to us. This is our efforts to rebuild the community that built us. FEMA has denied any federal aid to Southwest Virginia, therefore our community is going to have to build itself back with no government assistance.
We are proud to announce that we have partnered with United Way of Washington County and Habitat for Humanity of Washington County to donate all of our money from this fundraiser to help rebuild the community that built us! 100% of the money donated will be channeled into our hometown and surrounding communities.
Operation No Place Like Home is looking for Celebrity Guests that could come sign autographs, auction off memorabilia, be publicly recognized as a sponsor of the event during the concert. We are hoping to bring hope to our community in this time of devastation. If you cannot give of your time, then we would love to have any signed memorabilia to auction off to raise money for this cause. Any monetary donations would be greatly appreciated as well.
We plan on marketing ourselves in every way possible to bring awareness to this event and our community. Facebook will be a strong social network for us to be able to get the word out and update people on our progress. Twitter will be another strong network for us. We plan on reaching the local news/radio stations also. Sponsorships of the event are going to be strongly sought after by numerous people. Large corporations are going to be contacted to help in monetary donations and raffle prizes. There are numerous avenues which we plan to take to ensure that this event is a success, and that both charities have enough money to make a dent in what needs to be done.
Please help support our cause of giving back to the community. A charity concert will be held on June 18th, 2011 at the Damascus Town Park. It will begin at 3 PM . Admission to the event is strictly donations. An array of musicians will be entertaining, as well as Xtreme Dance Company. Raffles, silent auctions, and local food vendors will be a couple of the fundraising opportunities available at the event. Star Appearances will be made as well.
Thanks for joining in our efforts to enhance the lives of our hometown neighboring communities. Because there truly is “No Place Like Home!”
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us, The United Way of Washington County, or Washington County Habitat for Humanity.
Best Regards,
