USF Inaugural Cornhole Tournament Announcement
The Inaugural AMA – USF Cornhole Tournament
The AMA-USF Collegiate Chapter will host our first official cornhole tournament at The Tiki Cove at 2700 Land O’ Lakes Blvd. The event will be taking place on February 23rd, 2020. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for our organization, and the first-place team will win $1,000!
The proceeds primarily pay students’ expenses to attend the American Marketing Association’s Collegiate International Conference, held in New Orleans, in March. We have been previously ranked in the top 20 out of over 320 collegiate chapters from the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico that entered the Chapter of the Year competition at the International Conference. It is really important to us to be able to compete at the highest level and prove we can achieve whatever we set out to do.
As one of the leading organizations at the University of South Florida in Tampa, our Mission is to develop students’ professional skills through our speaker series, corporate tours, creating and implementing marketing activities for non-profits, and through other events like the planning cornhole tournaments, etiquette dinners, and resume workshops. Our organization does not receive any funding from the University. In addition, we are also awaiting approval on becoming a 501(c)(3) organization. All we need is a little push to get us from great to AMAzing.
This year we expect to have around 20 plus teams from across the Tampa Bay area at the cornhole tournament. If you choose to become a sponsor, we will feature your organization in our printed event program and we will provide a link to your website on our AMA website. Anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Joseph Pollio, VP of Fundraising
