After battling two serious and separate forms of cancer, Tony Laudadio experienced firsthand not only the emotional and physical toll of his diagnosis, but also the overwhelming financial strain it placed on his family.

Today, Tony dedicates himself full-time to the Tony Foundation, providing unrestricted cash grants to families where the primary income-earner has a cancer diagnosis and is unable to work.

All the proceeds of this Pickleball Tournament will support his incredible mission.

 

 

This is an amateur-only, doubles tournament, and all funds go directly to providing a $5K cash grant to a local family in need.  No need to lock-in a partner, simply secure your spot in the tournament now and show up on tournament day.  Every participant is guaranteed 4 games.

 

Format will ensure fair and competitive play
