About 2025 TPG Throwdown

The 4th Annual TPG Throwdown has been moved to a new, indoor venue! Meet up with your teams, colleagues, and friends at Wingspan Event Center. 

We challenge all the backyard-dominating, summer-BBQ-bragging, tailgate-crushing cornhole wannabees to come show their skills at our warehouse party tournament! Grab your partner for this cornhole fundraiser.  

This year’s event will benefit two local nonprofits – Camp Yakety Yak and Project Lemonade. Together, we can help them expand their programs and continue in our local community.

Camp Yakety Yak is a nonprofit day camp that helps children with special needs, such as autism and ADHD, develop social-emotional and communication skills in a supportive environment. The camp also provides hands-on training for future professionals in education and therapy.

Project Lemonade is a Portland-based nonprofit organization committed to inspiring self-esteem in foster youth by providing resources, opportunities, and connections to help them succeed in school and life. They prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in all aspects of their work, ensuring every voice is valued and heard.

About the TPG Foundation
In 2020, The Partners Group established the TPG Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that generates large-scale donations through major fundraising events like the TPG Throwdown and the Paddle Palooza. Our mission statement is: “Making a difference in the communities in which we live and work by investing in the health, wellbeing, and education of the next generation.”

The TPG Foundation and its events are in support of our #Give30 Campaign launched in 2020, in which we will give back $30 million by 2030 to our employees and to the communities in which we live and work. We thank you for your support.

How Your Support Makes a Difference

We have big goals. And so do our beneficiaries.


The Foundation’s focus is on root-cause issues and corresponding non-profits, so that TPG can:

  1. help our communities thrive, and
  2. support the next generation in moving upward and onward.

The goal is to “move the needle forward” for a small, select group of non-profit organizations so that they achieve their big goals. We want to give significant and game-changing gifts to those non-profits that are making a big difference.



 

Why Participate?

Because it's fun! And because it means so much to those who benefit.


Join us with friends, family, and co-workers for a friendly (yet competive) day of cornhole in support of our chosen beneficiaries -- you may choose to 1) participate in two-person teams at the event itself; 2) become a corporate or individual sponsor in support of the event; or 3) all of the above!

At our inaugural Throwdown in 2022, TPG President Sarah Friend said, “We dreamed of this day for years. Our goal was to raise $25,000 each for our beneficiaries and, through the generosity of our participants, sponsors, and spectators, we were able to better that goal.”

That first event raised $70,000 for our non-profits, while our second event in 2023 raised over $100,000! And we're setting the bar even higher for 2024, so we'd love your support. 

Thank you for your support!
