Bigger Together Charity Pickleball Tournament

We are thrilled to share that the 4th Annual Bigger Together Charity Pickleball Tournament raised $7,868.46! To date, the tournament has raised over $23,000 to help fund free mentorship programs that foster confidence, resilience, wellbeing, and connection for young people.
Held in memory of Pam Rowcliffe, hosted in partnership with Taylored Pickleball Academy and Lakeshore Recreation Centre, this year’s tournament welcomed more than 75 new and returning participants to beautiful Port Elgin for a weekend of fun, competition, and community impact.
The weather was on our side, with blue skies and plenty of sunshine creating perfect conditions for exciting rallies. Players went head-to-head in friendly competition across the Challenge and Rally divisions; a new tournament feature introduced this year.
When a community comes together around a shared purpose, the impact extends far beyond a single weekend. Thank you to the events supporters for being part of a movement that is building brighter futures, one young person at a time. We’re proud to be Bigger Together.












“What makes this tournament so special is the way it reflects the values of our community – people showing up for one another, giving generously of their time, and creating opportunities for young people to thrive. The connections built over this weekend mirror the very essence of mentorship: bringing people together, fostering belonging, and strengthening our community for the future. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to make this event a meaningful tradition.”
