Pickle CF Charity Tournament – Event Overview

Thank you for stepping onto the court to help end cystic fibrosis (CF). Seriously—it needs to go.

This event isn’t just about pickleball. It’s about community, competition, and raising critical funds to fight CF. Together, we’ll rally for a cure, celebrate life, and have a lot of fun doing it.

About Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. This makes it hard to breathe and absorb nutrients, leading to frequent infections and lifelong health challenges.

Thanks to new treatments, people with CF are living longer, healthier lives—but there is still no cure.
Your participation helps move us closer to that cure. According to the CF Foundation, 90 cents of every dollar raised supports research, care, and education programs.

Tournament Format

Seven round-robin games guaranteed for every team.
If time allows, top teams advance to a single-elimination playoff for medals and bragging rights.

Costume-Friendly Competition

It’s close enough to Halloween to add some flair—so dress as your favorite pickleball player, or just bring your best game-day style. Costumes are welcome as long as they don’t block vision, movement, or another player’s swing.

Why Play?
✔ Raise funds for life-saving CF research
✔ Compete in a full day of pickleball action
✔ Enjoy a prime-time exhibition and party
✔ Make memories, new friends, and maybe even walk away with a medal

Together, we’ll play hard, laugh loud, and make a real impact.
