UPCOMING PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS

Event Sponsor:

Pickleball, a sport that blends the best elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has rapidly gained popularity in recent years. It was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, by three dads looking to create a fun activity for their families. The sport is played on a rectangular court, usually divided into halves by a low net. Pickleball is well-loved for its accessibility, making it enjoyable for people of all ages and skill levels. Players use a solid paddle and a perforated plastic ball, similar to a wiffle ball, to engage in fast-paced rallies, all while aiming to outmaneuver their opponents and score points.

The Baldwin Fund, a remarkable nonprofit organization, has taken this dynamic sport to heart and utilized it as a means to raise funds for a cause that touches millions worldwide – cancer research. Their dedication to the fight against cancer shines through as they organize and host a series of pickleball tournaments, with the primary goal of supporting groundbreaking research initiatives aimed at finding cures and improving the lives of those impacted by this relentless disease.
