EPPA is assisting Mission Empower with their first pickleball fundraiser by providing registration services and consulting on administration and format of their tournament! We are excited to see the sport of pickleball grow as multiple different organizations see the potential for fundraising and awareness through this sport. They are hosting this shootout at Edinboro YMCA thanks to a generous donation of court time from the great folks there.

Mission Empower, an Erie-based community resource center, empowers families and children with disabilities. Through advocacy, education, and promoting inclusion, they help these children reach their full potential. Mission Empower offers programs like workshops to understand disabilities, paid internship sourcing, events for critical thinking and skill development, and works to create a welcoming community for all abilities.

For this tournament we highly encourage players to register with loved ones who may not be as integrally involved with the pickleball community. We find it highly unlikely that pro players like Ben Johns will register but if we feel that a team that has registered may not be the best fit, we will reach out to them and discuss options!

All teams start play at 2:00 pm. Check-in begins at 1:30 pm.

$30 per person. Everyone is required to register and pay online. If you have not fully paid for your registration by the registration deadline, another player on the waitlist will take your spot.

There will be food and drink for registered players. 

Round Robin followed by final matches. Final matches to be determined based on the number of registered players.
