We will start the event bright and early and go through the afternoon with a mixed doubles Pickleball tournament (3.0 and 3.5 rated players). The tournament format has changed (effective March 13) to be 3 warm-up games to 8 points then moves into bracket play (5 games guaranteed). With 12 courts available, there can only be 24 teams per skill level that can register to play.

Cost: $90/team

8:00 am – 3.0 games start (check-in begins at 7:15 am). Anticipate all games to be completed around noon and conclude with the awarding of medals.
12:00 pm – 3.5 players check-in with the potential to start playing early if courts are available.
1:00 pm – All 3.5 games should be underway.
5:00 pm – Anticipate all 3.5 games to conclude with the awarding of medals.
5:30 – 8:30 pm – An Evening for a Child Pickle Ball (dress is casual) - All registered tournament players will receive a confirmation email with the link and a discount code to purchase tickets for this event if they'd like to attend.

Note: Times are subject to change.

Registration for the tournament will close on April 11, 2024 at 5 p.m. (may close earlier if all spots are filled).

The Pickle Ball (not your typical Gala) will take place after the tournament and incorporate elements of what An Evening for a Child is known for including casual dress, live auction, feature family, food, field games, and more with an opportunity to learn the basics of playing Pickleball.

The goal of this event is to raise funds for Pediatrics Services at Capper Foundation including our Children's Abilities Fund (CAF). This fund is a lifeline for families facing overwhelming financial challenges while raising a child with a disability. It assists families in covering the unreimbursed cost of therapy services, such as high insurance deductibles, copays, additional therapy sessions, and other essential services not covered by Medicaid, commercial insurance, or private pay. Additionally, the CAF bridges the funding gap for program expenses that insurance and other funding sources fail to cover. In the last fiscal year, $830,000 was given to financially assist families and cover unreimbursed costs.
