Dink for Hope is a friendly but competitive pickleball event where a portion of the registration fees will be donated to Bahay Aruga, a free halfway house that provides support and accommodation to pediatric cancer patients and their guardians from PGH. This event is especially meaningful to us because we want to turn a simple day of playing pickleball into something that can help children and families going through a difficult journey. Every game, every registration, and every contribution will help make this cause possible. 🫶 🎾 EVENT DETAILS 👥 Players: 32-36 players 🏆 Teams: 8-9 teams, 4 players per team 💰 Registration Fee: ₱1,000 per player ⏰ Call Time: 6:00 PM 🔥 Game Start: 6:30 PM Call time is at 6:00 PM so everyone can warm up, meet their teammates, and discuss team strategies before the games officially begin.
