“I mean when you look at just what’s happened here in Texas with Simone Biles, Gabi, and look at our UT volleyball team. I mean, things are just unbelievable here, and it’s such a time to celebrate women in athletics. And hey, pickleball is another great sport where women can get together and have fun.” – (Scott)

In addition to the on-court action, the evening featured a pop-up shop hosted by Scott herself. This wasn’t just an ordinary shopping experience—part of the proceeds went to the JC7 Foundation.
