ALPHARETTA, Ga. — North Fulton Community Charities is hosting its first pickleball tournament at the North Park Tennis and Pickleball Center at 9 a.m. April 27-28.
The tournament is a partnership between the Roswell-based nonprofit and the City of Alpharetta. Proceeds will support financial stability and easing hardship for North Fulton families in need.
The first day of the tournament will feature mens and womens doubles, and April 28 will be reserved for mixed doubles.
Entry is priced at $45, and participants can pay an additional $15 for the second day. Registration is available at nfcchelp.org/pickleball.
“Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport, and we are excited to offer our state-of-the-art pickleball courts at North Park for this tournament,” Alpharetta Parks and Recreation Director Morgan Rodgers said. “We hope this event not only promotes healthy and active lifestyles but also raises funds for local families in need.”
NFCC Community Events Manager Janet Dahlstrom said the group is excited to partner with Alpharetta for the tournament, which will support vulnerable families with education, clothing, food, emergency financial aid and seasonal assistance.
Sponsorship opportunities between $1,000 and $5,000 are also available. Those interested can email Dahlstrom at [email protected].
