Come join us for the Third Annual Making Memories Classic, a major fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana. Dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is one form, is increasing in incidence both globally and in the U.S., where more than 100,000 Hoosiers are currently affected. The more than $82,000 raised in the first two years of this event have helped fund research efforts, community education and 24/7 support for care givers of individuals with the disease with an ultimate goal of a world without Alzheimer’s disease and all forms of dementia.

This year’s tournament promises to be the most fun and exciting thus far. Through collaboration with the City of Greenwood and its Parks Department, the 2024 Making Memories Classic will be held on the 16 new courts recently completed in Freedom Park. These dedicated pickleball courts with permanent nets are lighted and surrounded by a large area for parking.

The pickleball complex is located immediately adjacent to the Freedom Springs Aquatic Park. Bring family and friends for a combined day of competitive pickleball and awesome pools and water slides! A separate entry fee into the Aquatic Park is required. Once again this year we’re planning a Friday evening kickoff event with food, music and open play on the new courts. As in the past, plans call for a hospitality tent with free water, fruit and snacks for participants, vendors selling apparel and other items, a raffle with great prize packages and food trucks serving a variety of food items and treats throughout the three day event.

Format will be round robin leading to a single elimination medal round. Brackets will be divided by age, however some brackets may be combined depending upon number of registrants.

No refunds after cancellation date of 7/27/24.. No refunds due to weather cancellation. No refunds of services fees from paypal or pickleball brackets. All proceeds will be donated.

This is an outdoor tournament. Please plan accordingly, if adverse weather impacts the day of play updates will be posted here.
