Rally your Community

Sports and activities are a powerful way to bring people together. Charity sporting events and tournament fundraisers allow event organizers to tap into the pastimes people genuinely enjoy while promoting friendly competition, health, and community wellbeing. These events are a positive and engaging way to invite new and existing supporters to a cause, engage partners and employees, bring communities together, and rally support for an individual, organization, emergency, or initiative.

Pickleball events are taking fundraising by storm!

  • Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. three years running, with tens of millions of regular players and even more beginners picking it up.

  • Players don’t need to have experience playing in order to understand the rules and even play in a tournament for the first time.

  • Pickleball is a low-impact sport that can be enjoyed by people at all skill levels, ages, and genders. For event organizers, this means more involvement and engagement from a broad base of players and supporters.

  • Pickleball events can be casual or competitive (or both!), single- or multi-day, paired with other events and entertainment, and hosted at a variety of venues or locations.

  • Pickleball is both fun to watch and fun to play, providing opportunities for spectators, sponsors, and community members to support events over one or multiple days.

  • Event organizers are competing for players’ time and attention amid busy work and family schedules. A pickleball tournament is something new, different, and fun, attracting both new and existing supporters to your cause.

“Pickleball is incredibly popular, and it’s played by so many different types of people. It’s fun and inclusive, and it can also be very lucrative as a fundraiser.”
