The Charity Pickleball Tournament held on May 24, 2025, was a tremendous success and a heartwarming example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together. This event raised significant funds to support our organization’s mission—and just as importantly, it brought people together for a day of fun, sport, and generosity.
Acknowledgments:
We would like to extend special recognition to our partner in this endeavor, Camrose Pickleball. Their support, enthusiasm, and collaboration were absolutely essential—without them, none of this would have been possible. Their partnership elevated every aspect of the event and demonstrated what true community spirit looks like.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Leona and Susan, whose tireless efforts drove the planning, organization, and fundraising. From logistics to late-night preparations, they truly gave their all to make this event a success.
We’re also incredibly grateful to Erhard, who stepped in wherever needed with reliability and good humour. And to Tom, thank you for graciously allowing us to take over your basement—your flexibility was invaluable!
We must also acknowledge Chad the Pickle, whose excellent pickling efforts brought joy and laughter to the day. His presence added a unique and memorable flavour to the tournament—both literally and figuratively!
To all of the players who came out and played hard: your energy, sportsmanship, and love for the game made the event truly come alive. We’re grateful for your participation and enthusiasm.
To our sponsors, thank you for your generous support. Your contributions made a real difference and were crucial in achieving our fundraising goals.
Closing Thoughts:
This tournament was more than just a fundraiser—it was a celebration of community, collaboration, and compassion. We are deeply thankful to everyone who played a part, whether on the court or behind the scenes. With your help, we are better able to serve individuals in need of mobility equipment and continue making a real difference in our community.
Thank you all for making this event something special—we can’t wait to do it again.
