Location: Greensboro Science Center - Greensboro, NC
Description of Event: Tossing for Tamarins is a cornhole event to raise money and awareness for the Golden Lion Tamarins, an endangered New World monkey native to Brazil. This event was hosted at GSC and run by the NC American Association of Zoo Keepers (NC AAZK). The event this year fell on Friday the 13th and as a result had a Halloween theme. There will be a costume contest (paid guests only), along with the cornhole tournament (paid guests only), raffle, photobooth, music, food, and adult drinks with all proceeds going directly to the "Save the Golden Lion Tamarin Charity". Due to potential rain, the event took place inside at the aquarium. GSC reported that there was overwhelming kudos for the 501st Legions attendance.
