The fundraising event will support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, along with the Gronk Nation Youth Foundation’s Boston Playground.
The top four fundraising teams — plus one wildcard team — will earn the opportunity to play pickleball with Gronk and friends.
Participants can register as individuals or teams of two and unlock prizes as they fundraise, including signed Gronk merchandise and VIP experiences. Fundraising prizes will be awarded through May 20, 2025.
Not playing? Others can attend the event as spectators.
