The joy of competition, the thrill of victory, and the satisfaction of giving back - all of these elements come together at the upcoming 6th Annual Trident Cornhole Tournament on October 7th. However, this year's tournament promises something extra special: The Polar Peddler, a beloved local vendor, will be present to not only satiate the appetites of participants and attendees but also contribute to a cause that's close to their hearts.
All proceeds from the tournament benefit Child Life Services at the Children's Hospital at Erlanger and The Polar Peddler is joining in on the opportunity by contributing 20% of all sales to the organization.
A Delicious Combination of Fun and Purpose
When it comes to charitable initiatives, The Polar Peddler stands out as a beacon of community involvement. Owned by Erin, a dedicated entrepreneur with a heart of gold, The Polar Peddler is known for its delectable assortment of frozen treats that offer the perfect respite, especially during a heated cornhole tournament.
However, what truly sets this year's participation apart is the motivation behind it. Erin's connection with Children's Hospital at Erlanger runs deep. Having spent three formative years volunteering at the Child Life Department during her high school days, she knows firsthand the impact that even a small gesture of kindness can have on the young patients and their families.
From Volunteer to Benefactor: A Personal Journey
Erin's journey from a dedicated volunteer to a generous benefactor is an inspiring one. During her time at Children's Hospital at Erlanger, she witnessed the resilience and courage of the young patients battling various medical challenges. The Child Life Department, with its focus on enhancing the emotional well-being of children during their hospital stay, left an indelible mark on Erin.
"The experience of volunteering at the hospital opened my eyes to the strength that these children and their families possess. I knew then that I wanted to make a lasting impact on their lives," Erin shares.
Fast forward to today, Erin's commitment to making that impact is unwavering. Contributing 20% of The Polar Peddler's sales at the Trident Cornhole Tournament to the Children's Hospital at Erlanger is a heartfelt way for her to give back to an institution that has given her so much inspiration.
Supporting a Worthy Cause, One Treat at a Time
As the tournament day approaches, Erin and The Polar Peddler team are gearing up to provide attendees with not only the frozen delights they're known for but also an opportunity to join them in making a difference. With a portion of every sale going directly to the Children's Hospital at Erlanger, each participant and supporter can become a part of this heartwarming initiative.
Erin's pride in her involvement is palpable. "I'm incredibly honored to be able to contribute to the Child Life Department. It's a privilege to be in a position where I can give back to the place that has shaped my perspective on empathy and resilience."
