CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — For the third consecutive year, University of Illinois students and Cunningham Children’s Home are partnering to host the Illini Get Pickled Charity Pickleball Tournament at Huff Hall. The event takes place March 28–29 and raises funds to support local youth and families in need.
Presented by The Specialized Marketing Group Inc. (TSMGI), all proceeds from team registrations go directly to Cunningham Children’s Home. Registration is $75 per team, which includes t-shirts and a coupon for a free Jimmy John’s pickle for each participant.
Teams can register in one of two divisions: RSO/Greek Division on Saturday, March 28, or Community/General Student Division on Sunday, March 29. Pickleball paddles will be provided by DICK’S Sporting Goods, or participants can bring their own.
Winners from each division will receive Jimmy John’s Pickle Buckets, swag bags, pickleball paddle sets, and other prizes. The tournament has raised nearly $12,000 in past years. Organizers encourage all interested teams to register by March 26. Register here at Pickleball.
