Auxiliary Board Pickleball Tournament

Help us drive change, one point at a time. The 2nd Annual Big Shoulders Fund Pickleball Tournament is back, and every rally fuels scholarships for students who need them most. Bring your teammates, bring your A‑game, and bring Big Shoulders fund support — because purposeful play creates powerful opportunities. Register as a single player or a team of two. Prefer to stay off the court but still make a big play? Come as a spectator and invite your friends!

When: Saturday, March 28th from Noon-3pm
Where: De La Salle Institute (3434 S Michigan Ave)
