Three Guys Raising Money for Furry 4-Legged Friends!

Bags for Wags is run by three guys looking to give back to the Charlotte Community by assisting local animal organizations with their fundraising endeavors and helping educate the public on the need for spay/neuter and improved welfare of animals. We recently held our first charity cornhole tournament outside of the Charlotte region, in Atlanta, GA. Since 2009, we have raised over $22,300 for animal charities in the Charlotte and Atlanta communities. We look forward to doing more for our furry friends and the organizations who support them. We hope to see you at our next tournament!

Jon Littlepage
Originally from the small town of Greenville, KY and a 8 year Air Force Veteran. I have been living in Charlotte with my wife, Cindy, and our 5 rescued dogs and 1 cat since 2002. We started to notice a majority of the animal fund-raisers in Charlotte were geared more to ladies so we decided to step up and try to change that perception -- Bags for Wags was born and we have not looked back since. I truly love giving back to the community and making a difference in any animals life no matter how big or small.  I hope to see you at our next event!

Lee Hoech
I’m a dog person who wanted to raise funds to help dogs but didn’t know what to do. Most fundraisers I knew about weren’t really for men. Jon Littlepage, Mike Hebert and I brainstormed up an idea to raise funds to help dogs and have a manly man fundraiser, something guys would like to go do. Thinking that guys like the tailgating game of Corn Hole, Cold Beer and the Thirsty Beaver Saloon, the idea for Bags for Wags was born! I enjoyed everything about the tournament and giving back to the community. Its something special to see all the generosity out in the community and knowing I helped play a part in helping dogs.

I moved here from Seattle in 2000 with my wife, Becky, and dog, Clyde, and have been here ever since. 

Mike Hebert
Originally from Beverly, Massachusetts I have called Charlotte home for the past six years.Currently living in uptown Charlotte with my wife Sarah and our two rescue dogs (Clarkson - a Jack Russell mix rescued from a kill shelter and Oscar - an 8 lb Chihuahua rescued from Charlotte's mean streets). A lifelong dog lover, I have always wanted to find an interesting and fun way to help dogs in need. Collaborating with Jon and Lee resulted in Bags for Wags which is a fun event for all that benefits a great cause.
