WHY WE PLAY
Pickleball for Hope: Victor's Brigade Tournament is more than just a game—it's a mission. Hosted at St. Luke's SportsPlex, this community event brings players and supporters together to raise critical funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Every serve, rally, and point played helps support Lehigh Valley families facing the devastating impact of blood cancer.
