In a bid to raise funds for students and educational programs, the Broward College Foundation is set to host an Inaugural Broward College Pickleball Challenge.
Pickleball enthusiasts of all levels are invited to compete for a good cause on Friday, September 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Diadem Pickleball Complex on Broward College’s North Campus in Coconut Creek.
According to Broward College, current estimates are that the round-robin tournament will feature up to 60 teams and 120 players. Skill level will determine divisions.
Broward College will provide refreshments throughout the day and before the awards ceremony, which will take place once the tournament concludes.
“We are so thrilled to host what will be an exciting tournament open to pickleball players at all levels,” Nancy Botero, Chief of Staff for the Broward College Foundation, said in a press release announcing the event.
“We appreciate our enthusiastic committee who are dedicated to supporting our students and are thankful to the players who will join us for this fun, competitive challenge.”
The Broward College Pickleball Challenge also marks a significant date in the institution’s history. On September 6, 1960, the Junior College of Broward County opened its doors to 701 students. Since then, Broward College has grown to serve more than 56,000 students and has over 4,000 faculty and staff.
“I advocate for two things, education and pickleball, so naturally, I was all in, and I am thrilled to support Broward College Foundation’s newest endeavor,” said Jonathan Keith, Global Real Estate Advisor with Team JK at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and a co-chair of the Broward College Pickleball Challenge.
“I have the utmost respect for Broward College and everyone who works at the Foundation, and I’m honored to help support this vital educational resource in our community.”
Registration is open at giving.broward.edu/pickleball.
The cost for individual players is $200, and sponsorships start at $1,500.
