Come on out to Smash the Guts Pickleball Mixer!

The Barrie, Niagara and Toronto chapters of Crohn's and Colitis Canada are pleased to host our second annual charity Pickleball mixer. Due to the success of last year's mixer, we have expanded and will be holding the mixer in Toronto, Niagara and Barrie. Smash the Guts is a great way to meet like-minded people, raise funds for a cause you care about, and most importantly, play a lot of Pickleball!

A one-day round-robin style Pickleball mixer featuring different levels to accommodate various experience levels. Each ticket ensures 2 hours of Pickleball play - partners will switch each round, so you are always meeting new people. All proceeds raised during Smash the Guts go towards funding our groundbreaking research and robust patient programs, so you can feel good while having fun.
