Have a "Ball" and  Support The Carpenter's Workshop

Our partner in ministry, The Carpenter's Workshop Counseling Center, is excited to host their 1st Carpenter's Workshop Pickleball Fundraiser for players ages 13 and up. Join them for an afternoon of social competitive play for a great cause!

There will be two 1.5-hour round-robin doubles pickleball sessions, for players of mixed levels. You can register for one or both sessions. Each session will be a round-robin with rotating partners and opponents playing 10-minute timed rounds. Medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be awarded for the top 3 players with the best win/loss record for each session.

Unable to play but would like to make a donation to support the cause? You can purchase a DONATION ticket. Your contribution will help fund counseling services for those in need.

Net proceeds will benefit The Carpenter's Workshop, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian ministry, founded in 2001. To learn more about The Carpenter's Workshop and the programs that this event will help to support, please visit: http://www.carpentersworkshop.org.
