Club members Patty D, Betsy I and Maggi H are helping with a pickleball charity tournament:
Pickleball With Purpose is coming to Moon Valley Country Club! The doubles tournament will be held on Friday afternoon, March 3rd as a fundraiser for theChildren’s Treehouse Foundation.
The Children’s Treehouse Foundation, provides educational support for children and teens who have a parent or caregiver who has been diagnosed with cancer. Their art- centered program is called CLIMB® which stands for Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery. For nearly 20 years the program has helped to demystify cancer and teach positive coping strategies to the entire family. Over the course of six weeks, communication improves as the family develops a common language with which to discuss complicated feelings like fear and anxiety. CLIMB® is used in cancer programs throughout the United States as well as in countries like Ireland and Japan. The Foundation is an Arizona and Colorado based 501c3 organization, and the executive director was born and raised right here in Moon Valley. You can find more information about the program at www.childrenstreehousefdn.org.
The pickleball tournament is open to 64 players. The tax-deductible entry fee is $50 per person for basic entry or $100 per person with additional benefits. There will be a silent auction, multiple raffle prizes and, of course, prizes for the winning team.
Sponsors at the time of this printing include Valley Luna, Wellness in Motion, Mushkatel, Robbins and Becker Law, Watland and Allen Law, Moon Valley Pest Control, Western Alliance Bank, Serafina Coffee Roasters, OnPointe Dentistry, Vegan and Vine and Daou Vineyards. Sponsorship opportunities are still available at $250 and $500.
