Students at Artesia High School were able to have some fun while also raising funds for a good cause Wednesday during Written in Red Day at Morris Field.

Bulldogs ponied up to compete in a hotly contested cornhole tournament, along with other games, including a water-balloon toss and potato-sack races. Concession sales also benefitted the Written in Red Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated in part to supporting educational organizations and programs.

Check out a few photos from the event below, including a candid interview with the cornhole tournament champions.
