Drew Shytle was shocked and saddened by the tragic
events that occurred in Newtown,
Connecticut. His heart went out
to the families and classmates of the Sandy Hook
school shooting victims. He also felt compassion for the entire community. Drew
Shytle wanted to find a way to make life feel a little more normal for the
people of Newtown, Connecticut. Drew Shytle also wanted to make
sure the Newtown community knew they had support
from Lexington, North Carolina. Drew Shytle spent some extra
time with his children then he started thinking about what he could do to help.
Drew Shytle is the owner of Legit Cornhole. The company
manufactures handmade and custom designed cornhole game boards. Drew Shytle is
the owner and also the chief designer for the company. He started thinking
about designing a cornhole board that would be appropriate to donate to the Newtown community. Drew
Shytle came up with a wonderful design. He manufactured the cornhole board.
Then he put the board at the Lexington
Community Center. He made
the board available to anyone who wanted to send condolences and words of
support to the Newtown
community. The outpouring of support was enormous. The gesture was so well
received that Drew Shytle quickly realized more cornhole boards were going to be
needed. He supplied the additional boards. Lexington residents continued to fill them up
with endless words of comfort and sometimes just a signature.
The cornhole boards were delivered to the Newtown community. Drew
Shytle hopes the cornhole boards are able to offer some comfort to the Newtown residents. He can
picture someone picking up a bean bag and starting a game of cornhole with some
friends. He hopes in that moment things feel a little more like normal. Drew
Shytle knows that realistically things probably won't feel normal for a long
time. He just wants the Newtown
community to know that someone cares.
