North Fulton Community Charities is planning a Pickleball tournament as an April fundraiser for the nonprofit.

The tournament of doubles and mixed doubles players will take place April 27-28 at North Park in Alpharetta.

Proceeds from the event will benefit families in need that the charity supports, a statement said. The nonprofit is partnering with the city of Alpharetta for the tournament.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the City of Alpharetta to offer a great opportunity for pickleball players of all levels to participate in a fun tournament at a wonderful facility while supporting vulnerable families ...” said Janet Dahlstrom, community events manager.

The entry fee for the tournament starts at $45. The charity is also seeking sponsors for the fundraiser. For more information contact Dahlstrom at jdahlstrom@nfcchelp.org and visit nfcchelp.org/pickleball.

The charity serves 150 to 200 clients per day in 2023 and reported seeing a 95% increase in food pantry orders over the previous two years.
