On June 7th, we hosted our very first Pickle for a Purpose tournament at Epic Pickleball in Littleton - and what a day it was! More than 100 players filled the courts for a full day of pickleball, connection, and community. From the first match to the final point, the energy stayed high and the excitement never let up.

Every dollar raised at the inaugural Pickle for a Purpose will go directly into Shining Stars programming, helping create meaningful experiences that empower and support children with cancer, young adult survivors, and their families.
