All ages and all skill levels are welcome to join this event. To register for this event, please email Events@Picklemesilly.com to reserve your spot.

Building on last year’s SOLD OUT event, fantastic participant base and feedback, we look forward to the 3rd edition which promises the same pickleball community-centric environment, great vendors and sponsors, food and more.

100 percent of all proceeds support the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Trauma and Burn Programs. Last year we had over 200 participants and were able to raise a little over $25,000! All proceeds go directly to benefit the patients and families served by the world-class doctors and nurses of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center Pediatric Trauma and Burn Centers - which is Maryland’s only designated regional pediatric burn center and only accredited pediatric trauma center in the state. The funds raised from this event were able to provide education and training opportunities for our faculty and staff, provided injury prevention giveaways to patients and families (smoke detectors, car seats, bike helmets, oven mitts, and more), and funded our Pediatric Trauma Bootcamp, which was a series of training sessions for pediatric residents to practice caring for trauma patient scenarios.

Our event is managed by PickleMeSilly Tournaments, and we are promising an enjoyable day of Pickleball fun for everyone. Players registered for the event will be provided a souvenir t-shirt (select size at registration) and access to the great group of expected vendors.

Come out and have a great time supporting a great local cause. For the kids!
