Smash to Serve Pickleball Tournament – Fundraiser for Food Security
Join us on Saturday, October 4, 2025, for the second annual Pickleball Tournament, hosted by The Salvation Army Community Services (Calgary). This exciting mixed-group tournament welcomes 32 teams of two players - whether you're Men+Men, Women+Women, or Women+Men - to compete for the coveted Smash to Serve title!
The tournament is split into two skill levels:
Beginners/Novice (2.0-2.99)
Intermediate/Advanced (3.0+)
Registration Fee: $50 per player.
Registration includes a tournament t-shirt, and a full day of fun and competition with lunch provided and an opportunity to serve your community.
This event is more than just pickleball, it's a community fundraiser to support emergency food programs for families in need. All proceeds stay local, helping ensure food security in Greater Forest Lawn, one of Calgary’s most vulnerable communities.
We encourage each team to rally their family and friends to raise donations and cheer them on during the tournament. We will be accepting donations and any funds you have raised at the event. Let’s serve up some hope together!
