Pickleball Tournament- JULY 2026
This is a fun way to raise money for Shadow Buddies and we have had such good results because of the faithful Pickleballers and their dedication to helping with spread the word about Shadow Buddies. We’ve been doing this for 8 years and always fill up our tournaments in record time. To date, we have raised over $23,000 for the Shadow Buddies Foundation programs. The love of the game and the great heart of our followers allow us to reach families and children who are going through tough times. A big thank you to Crystal Ansley and John Ploehn for all their dedicated efforts each year. In 2024, we hosted our first event at Chicken N Pickle, hosted by Oak Star Bank, and raised $10,000.
IT’S KIND OF A BIG DILL!
