A Message from the Organizers
Hi Friends and Family,
Since Everest passed, so many of you have joined us for the Hike for Hospice, Pickleball for Hospice or donated in his memory and we can’t thank you enough for that support. This year, we’re returning with the second annual Pickleball for Hospice Holiday Classic on Sunday, December 6th! All funds raised will go directly to the Chatham-Kent Hospice, a place that continues to mean so much to our family.
If you’ve ever wanted to give pickleball a try, this is your chance! The beginner division is perfect for newcomers, and the Chatham-Kent Pickleball Club will be there to help you out. Don’t worry—it’s not a whole day thing, just a couple of hours with different time slots. And if pickleball isn’t your thing, you can still donate online to support this incredible organization.
We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your support!
With gratitude,
Matt & Andrea Welch
