The local branch of Canadian Mental Health Association is thrilled to announce that Parkers Chrysler is the 2024 presenting sponsor for the 3rd Annual Penticton Pickleball for Mental Health tournament August 30-September 1. The tournament is expected to draw 400+ pickleball enthusiasts from the Okanagan, and across BC and will be played at the Penticton Seniors Drop-in Centre outdoor courts. Men’s doubles, ladies doubles and mixed doubles action will be featured.
“We’re really proud to be the presenting sponsor for Pickleball for Mental health. We got involved with it last year. Given the opportunity this year, we jumped right on board as quick as we could. We really appreciate what CMHA does within the community. This is a great event. It’s lots of fun, and quite honestly, it’s making me feel that I really need to get out there and learn how to play pickleball,” says Jim Tabler, dealer principle at Parkers.
“Pickleball for Mental Health tournament is all about having fun and supporting mental health” stated Leah Schulting, Executive Director of the local CMHA branch. The tournament is a celebration and support of mental health for all, with the goal bringing mental health to the forefront, and raising funds for much needed mental health programs and services in our community. Every dollar raised stays in the South Okanagan Similkameen area and will go towards:
• Unity Clubhouse programs and services. Unity Clubhouse is a place where people with a diagnosed mental illness can find support.
• Education programs such as suicide prevention, mental health first aid, etc.
• Mental Health Advocacy – one on one professional support
There will be pickleball on display, music, a food truck, raffles, and lots of fun! Free admission for all. Anyone wishing to enter the tournament can do so on pickleballbrackets.com.
