Funds from the tournament will help the non-profit organization purchase a specially equipped van to transport individuals with mobility issues.
The van will help Bea Fisher allow adults with disabilities to maintain routine activities of life through transportation.
The tournament will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day and is open to teams (two players per team) of all abilities. The schedule will be split into beginner, intermediate and competitive divisions.
Saturday will feature mixed competitive, mixed intermediate and beginner divisions and Sunday will see men’s and women’s competitive and intermediate divisions.
The two-day tournament will also feature food and beverages, including beer gardens. Other fundraising activities will be held in the SSC’s OTS room.
“We’ve added a few more divisions this year, but the primary goal is to help bring people out to develop the sport of pickleball and raise some funds for the van we’re hoping to buy,” said the organization’s marketing and business development co-ordinator Kim Crockett.
Registration deadline is Thursday, Sept. 25 at noon.
