Pick up a paddle and help support local students and teachers.
The Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools is hosting a pickleball fundraiser Oct. 19 at the CHS gym, with the proceeds going to help the group’s work in the classroom.
The foundation provides enrichment grants for teachers and scholarships for teachers, as well as funding the Promise Fund, which supports equity in education.
Whether you’re a pickleball pro or have never played, all skill levels are welcome.
“This is a social, a fundraiser, and a chance to get a little exercise while benefitting a great non-profit organization!” event organizer James Steller said. “We want everyone to have fun.”
There will be a category for people who consider themselves beginners or novices, with another category for those who “think they are a bit better or just OK.”
Each category is limited to 24 players, forming 12 teams.
The event will feature a round robin format, with 3-5 games guaranteed depending on how many people show up.
Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be sold, with a raffle and door prizes as well.
Don’t want to take the court yourself? You can still donate to the cause.
