Euchre Tournament

Progressive Euchre Tournament – Mexico Missions Fundraiser ♣️

Join us for an evening of fun and friendly competition while supporting a great cause! We are hosting a Progressive Euchre Tournament to help raise funds for the upcoming Mexico Missions Trip.

When: Sunday, April 19 at 5:00 PM

What is a Progressive Euchre Tournament?
A Progressive Euchre Tournament is a fun, fast-paced card event where players rotate partners and tables each round. After every round, partners switch and scores are recorded. The goal is to accumulate the most points by the end of the tournament. This format keeps the competition lively and gives everyone the chance to play with and against many different people throughout the night.

Players sign up as individuals rather than teams, so you don’t need a partner to participate. This sign-up form allows one person to register multiple players, but not teams.

There is no registration fee for the tournament. However, donations will be gladly accepted to support the Mexico missions trip. A donation box will be available at the event, or you can donate online HERE.

Come enjoy a great night of cards, fellowship, and supporting an important mission!
