Pickleball in the Sun is proud to be a sponsor and supporter of the Paddles for PanCan pickleball tournament. This tournament is a great opportunity to have some fun while supporting a crucial cause.
Laura Gainor, founder and CEO of Pickleball in the Sun, recently had the pleasure of speaking with tournament founder Mike Buresh, Chief Meteorologist of Action News Jax, about his inspiration for organizing this event. Mike is a passionate advocate for pancreatic cancer awareness and research. He shared some alarming statistics: over 66,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2024—that’s 180 people every day. But together, we can make a difference.
The Paddles for PanCan Pickleball Tournament is your chance to participate in a fun and friendly competition while supporting a crucial cause. This mixed doubles tournament is open to all skill levels, with intermediate (under 3.5) and advanced (3.5+ players) divisions. Whether you're new to pickleball or a seasoned player, your participation honors those affected by pancreatic cancer.
