Gustine’s Pickleball for a Cause: On May 31, Gustine will host the first Pickleball for a Cause tournament at Harry P. Schmidt Park. Organized by Daniel Gomes, the event brings players of all ages and skill levels together to raise money for Valley Children’s Hospital. All funds raised will support the hospital’s care for children and families in the Valley.
Daniel Gomes created Pickleball for a Cause to turn his passion for pickleball into help for the community. The pickleball tournament promises a day full of fun activities beyond the games, including bounce houses, food vendors, live DJ music, and a silent auction. Attendees will enjoy raffles, a photo booth, and prizes for the most creatively dressed players.
Event Details and Registration
The final chance to register in person is on May 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Gustine Tennis & Pickleball Court. Spaces are limited and filling quickly across all divisions.
The entry fee is $50 per person, and every team will play at least three games. Warm-ups begin at 8 a.m. on the day of the tournament. Spectators are encouraged to come and cheer on the players while enjoying the event’s activities.
