The third annual YMCA Peterborough pickleball tournament is set to return to the YMCA Balsillie Family Branch, bringing local competition and fundraising together in support of youth programming.
Local realtors Shaun Pearce and Wade Hamblin will once again headline the event on Saturday, competing for the “Golden Pickle” title in the friendly rivalry match.
Pearce told PTBOTODAY.ca the cause is really close to his heart.
He added that not all children in Peterborough have equal access to sports opportunities due to financial constraints, and the campaign helps address that gap.
Hamblin says the entire day is going to be extremely fun.
Organizers say the event has grown in popularity each year, combining community engagement with a lighthearted but competitive spirit on the court.
