Cornhole for a Cause Donates $77,000 to United Way

Bohler recently held its 8^th annual Cornhole for a Cause fundraiser in Chester, New Jersey.

The event brought together over 200 professionals from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to enjoy a fun afternoon of networking while supporting a local charity. Through the power of collaboration and community spirit, the event raised an impressive $77,000 for the United Way of Northern New Jersey.

Featuring lively competitions and enthusiastic participation, Mike Petke and Bobby Kuldamek from Encon emerged as the champions. Beyond the corn hole competition, attendees enjoyed Cinco de Mayo-themed food and refreshing drinks, adding to the festive atmosphere.
