Pickle4Pets was first launched as a group of retired friends, pickleball players and avid pet lovers discussed how to best support the local animal rescue community. With an event location secured and a dedicated group of volunteers, the idea became a reality in 2023!

The first year's event was a huge success and raised nearly $30,000! We are hoping to top that in 2024 with the Amateur Division, the Pro/Am Division bidding, and the 50/50 Raffle all while having a great day of pickleball and fun benefitting the Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch!

The Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch is a 501(c)(3) organization in Myakka City, Fl dedicated to providing life saving medical care, and re-homing dogs and cats to their perfect forever homes.

If you are interested in volunteering for Pickle4Pets the day of the event, reach out to Bob Kichler at BobKichler@gmail.com or 404-932-4950.

If you would like more information on The HSLWR or to volunteer, visit www.hslwr.org/volunteer.

Thank you for supporting Pickle4Pets and for helping to save more precious dogs and cats!
