NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (July 07, 2025) – Make-A-Wish Orange County and the

Wishes tournament on Saturday, August 2 from 2:00 – 7:00 p.m. at the Tennis and

activity, while also coming together in support of a common mission: to create lifechanging wishes for local children with critical illnesses.

“I am personally moved seeing the hope and joy that Make-A-Wish injects into the lives
of local children and their families during dark times," said John Cain, Founder and
President of presenting sponsor, CAIN Group. “Here at CAIN Group, we are so proud to
have supported the children and families in our community at Pickleball for Wishes for
the past five years. I invite you to join us as we take to the court to support granting
wishes for these courageous local children.”

All players and spectators are welcome to take part in a raffle and silent auction with
unique experiences—including the exclusive VIP Virgin Galactic Golden Ticket package
that includes tickets to Spaceport America in New Mexico. Participants can visit

For participants who are new to the sport, or who would like to strengthen their skills, a

tournament begins.

York Life, with new sponsors Mariners Escrow and Citizens Business Bank, whose
