Join us on Saturday, August 2, 2025 from 9am – Noon at the Salem Willows Pickleball Courts in Salem, MA.

It will be a morning of outdoor fun, community building, pickleball lessons, and tournament competition suited for every level. Whether you're a spectator, a beginner, or a seasoned pickleball player, if you want to be outside, meet new people, learn about and/or play pickleball, and support a good cause, this event is for you. All proceeds from our pickleball, raffle, and silent auction activities will go towards Kinship Farm Grow food for good (GFG) efforts to provide education about and expanded access to healthy, locally grown food for individuals and families in need on the North Shore.
