Bags & Builds: Cornhole for Safe Homes

Toss a bag, grab a drink, and help fund critical home repairs for Northern Nevada seniors and veterans!

We’re gearing up for an incredible evening of community, competition, and charity! Rebuilding Together Northern Nevada is hosting our Bags & Builds Cornhole Tournament, and we want you there. Whether you are a cornhole champion or just looking to enjoy a great night out, this highly inclusive event is all about coming together to help our neighbors in need.

Why We Play

All funds raised during Bags & Builds go directly toward helping low-income seniors and veterans reside safely in place. As our Comptroller, Wendy Clifford, and Board Vice President, David Sirna Jr., recently shared, many seniors are forced to move into assisted living simply because their homes are no longer safe or accessible.

  • We provide life-changing modifications like grab bars, wheelchair ramps, lighting for fall prevention, and vital electrical updates.
  • Recently, we helped a hardworking senior by installing a safe new stove, electrical wiring, and grab bars, while also bringing in a dumpster to clear out years of accumulated hazards.
  • These no-cost repairs do more than just fix a house—they restore confidence, dignity, and independence.
