Why we do this

Quality Fasteners has been in business in San Antonio since December 1982. Larry and Jill Matula built it on the idea that you give back to the community that carried you, and at every family gathering a game of washers broke out sooner or later.

When somebody suggested combining the two at a company picnic, the pairing was obvious. Sixteen years later it is still the same park, the same boards, and the same barbecue.

Every dollar the tournament raises goes to The Children's Shelter of San Antonio. Sponsors cover the costs so nothing comes off the top.

Give any time of year

The tournament happens once a year. The shelter's work does not. Donations made through our donate page go to The Children's Shelter, so you can give whenever you like.

Questions

When is the next tournament?

The 17th Annual is planned for Fall 2027. The date will be announced on this page, and if you email us we will let you know directly.

Where does the money go?

100% of tournament proceeds go to The Children's Shelter of San Antonio. Sponsors cover the costs so nothing comes off the top.

Can I still donate?

Yes, any time of year. Our donate page is open year-round.

Is my donation tax deductible?

For a larger gift, donate directly to The Children's Shelter, which is a 501(c)(3). Reference Washers for a Cause so we can add it to the tournament total. We are happy to deliver the donation for you if that is easier. We are not able to give tax advice, so check with your accountant on what is deductible.
