Hole-Lotta-Hope:
Cornhole Tournament
Presented by Taggart Parkes Foundation
Sunday, May 24th, 2026 (4-7pm)
Tavern on the Island (Bate Island) - Ottawa, Ontario
Hole-Lotta-Hope is back - and we’re ready for another unforgettable day of friendly competition, great food, and community spirit. Last year’s inaugural tournament brought teams, families, and spectators together for an afternoon of high-energy cornhole, patio sunshine, and incredible generosity of Hopewell.
This year, we’re doing it all again on Sunday, May 24th - and registration is officially open! Whether you’re returning to defend your skills or joining us for the first time, you’ll be part of a fun, welcoming event that makes a real impact. We have a scheduled rain date for Sunday, June 7.
What This Event Is All About
Hole-Lotta-Hope is designed to be accessible, community-driven, and impact-focused. Registration is free, and instead of paying an entry fee, teams fundraise to unlock perks, advantages, and opportunities to compete for the championship title.
This model keeps the event open to everyone while ensuring every dollar raised directly supports Hopewell’s programs.
