Pickle-balling for a cause!

100% of the registration fees for the 2023 Golden Pickle Charity Classic will support Heart & Homes for Veterans. Their mission is not just to be another charity, but to end homelessness and assist low-income Veterans in Southwest Florida. Their goal is to help veterans lift themselves out of poverty, and then in turn reach back and help other veterans do the same.

Founded in 2013, Hearts & Homes has come a long way since their earliest outreach efforts. Today, the organization actively supports homeless and low-income veterans and their family with financial assistance for short-term rental and utility costs, counseling and advocacy with local, regional, and national support networks, arranging for and providing short-term funds for transportation, holiday outreach programs, and much more!

Learn more about their mission and donate directly at HHVeterans.com

Throughout the tournament, donate your non-perishable items in support of the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida. Each month, Harry Chapin feeds a quarter of a million people in their five-county footprint (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee), with 32% of their services going to hungry children and 19% to feeding seniors, who often choose between buying food or paying for necessary medications.
