About the event:
-This is a fundraiser event. 100% of proceeds go to support National Alliance for Mental Illness, Treasure Valley (Boise area). https://namitreasurevalley.org/
-Event schedule allows teams to show up for a 4-hour timeframe to play their event. This allows for less time sitting around and more time to encourage and engage with teammates. The team format facilitates more social play with an emphasis on team camaraderie as you compete in a mix-and-match style.
-We encourage teams to dress up. Prize for best team costume.
-The support from the local community has been outstanding in this event and we are excited to once again be able to bring more awareness to mental health while getting to play pickleball together.
We are looking forward to a day well spent playing pickleball with friends!
