Tournament for a cause
The third annual Christian Ervick Memorial B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Scholarship Pickleball Fundraiser will take place Saturday, Aug. 17, at Mount Vernon Canyon Club. “This event promises an exciting day of pickleball while supporting a meaningful cause,” said Travis Ervick, racquet sports director at MVCC and EPC board member.
Event Details
All events this year are open play time slots. For open play, courts will be leveled appropriately based on how many of each level have signed up. (Beginner, Lower Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, Advanced). We will have 10 courts for use on the day and will designate the courts’ level based on how many players sign up per division. The number of courts available for each level will be determined by the number of players registered for that level during that time.
Cost: $55 per person, with all net proceeds benefiting the Christian Ervick B.A.L.A.N.C.E Scholarship. You may register for more than one time slot for an additional $55.
Time Slots: 8-10 a.m., 10 a.m.-noon, noon- 2 p.m., 2-4 p.m.
