The 2026 JCC Picklethon
Play with Purpose. Send a Kid to Camp.
Join us on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at the Prosserman JCC Outdoor Pickleball Courts for a full day of pickleball, connection, and community impact.
The JCC Picklethon brings together players and supporters for a sunrise-to-sunset event in support of Send a Kid to Camp, with a goal of raising $10,000 to help send 10 children to camp. Every registration helps a child experience the joy, confidence, friendship, and belonging that summer camp can bring.
Event Details
The Picklethon is a one-day fundraiser at the JCC, where players will take to the courts across a full day of programming designed to bring people together through play while raising funds to help send more children to camp this summer. The event will be comprised of a day filled with mini-series tournaments based on skill level.
Whether you come for the game, the energy, or the cause, Picklethon is a chance to be part of something meaningful.

Why it Matters?
For many children, camp is where confidence grows, friendships begin, and belonging takes root.
Through Send a Kid to Camp, the JCC helps ensure that financial barriers do not prevent children from experiencing the joy, connection, and growth that summer camp can bring. Picklethon turns a day of pickleball into something much bigger: the chance to help send 10 children to camp this summer.
Every dollar raised through Picklethon, helps give more children the chance to experience the joy and impact of summer camp. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help send 10 children to camp, creating access to a summer filled with growth, connection, and belonging.
Confidence
For some children, camp is the first place they feel brave enough to try. A first swim. A first overnight. A first moment of saying, “I can do this.” Your support helps create the kind of summer that builds confidence long after camp ends.
Friendship
Camp is where strangers become bunkmates, and bunkmates become lifelong friends. It is where children laugh hard, feel included, and find the kind of connection that stays with them long after the last day of summer.
Belonging
Every child deserves a place where they feel welcomed, supported, and part of something bigger than themselves. Through Send a Kid to Camp, more children can experience the care, community, and belonging that camp makes possible.
