(ABC 6 News) – The Hormel Historic Home in Austin hosted the 4th annual Tossing for Bean Bag tournament on Saturday.
The event began with a blind draw at 9 a.m. followed by the Bring your Own Partner at 1 p.m.
50% of all entry fees go toward the Autism Friendly Austin Initiative. Organizers say this year they raised around $1,000.
The event especially hits home for one family in attendance, making the drive from Waterloo, Iowa.
“It means the world. My son who’s 7 years old, his birthday was yesterday, happy birthday buddy, and he’s autistic. It means the world to something like this driving 2 hours south, that we are able to see this kind of thing, and this many people come around,” said Richard Lutgen, fundraiser attendee.
