WHEATON, IL – Bridge Communities will host its annual Pickleball Tournament on Saturday, July 26, at Pickled! Wheaton, bringing together players of all skill levels for some friendly competition that supports families facing homelessness.

Participants will bring their best to the court and compete against their fellow community members, while helping Bridge raise enough money to provide multiple client families with the vehicles they need to get back on the road to success.

The event encourages mixed doubles teams and welcomes players looking to test their skills or simply enjoy time with friends.
