First off thank you to those that where my sounding board and or answered questions as I asked my dumbest thoughts here.
Second I want to save the date September 19th 2026 for VA States this year!
It’ll be held at Dulles town center mall in sterling VA this year to bring the contest s bit closer to the DC area and where the DMV throwers club can more easily help. Venue details below.
I’m currently busy with sponsor outreach and RFPs to the closest hotels for room block options but next on my plate once I get those items handled enough to move to the next is volunteer sign up and the registration page.
Exciting stuff and thank you to those that have already supported as either sponsors, volunteers or my sounding board so far.
I want to give a huge shoutout and sincere thanks to @freshlydirty
From the very beginning, back when @Captrogers first floated the idea of hosting a contest at a @dmv_throwers meetup two years ago, you were all in. No questions, just support.
Fast forward to earlier this year: I’m still figuring things out, calling venues, gathering info, trying to shape something real. And @arthurfoley, without hesitation, jumps in with “What do you need?” and offers to sponsor, before there was even a clear concept. Just a rough idea and a lot of ambition.
That kind of belief means everything. Honestly, I’m not sure this project would’ve gotten off the ground without it.
There are more sponsors and supporters to highlight in the coming days and weeks, but it only feels right to start with the first person who said yes before the vision was even fully there.
