Raffle Proceeds in Action

Watch out, Aiken pickleballers, a new generation of pickleball players is coming up the pike!  The proceeds of last year’s Palmetto Tournament raffle ticket sales were used to purchase a class set of pickleball paddles and balls for Aiken Intermediate School.  Lori Secrist, P.E. teacher at this middle school, says her students are having lots of fun learning the game.  

Plans are in the works to expand this pickleball program throughout Aiken County Public Schools  with a pickleball in-service in August for all Aiken County P.E. teachers.   This year’s raffle sales will go to promote pickleball at another Aiken school.  Purchase a ticket or two or ten at the Palmetto Tournament, and not only will you get a chance to win a cool prize, you’ll also be helping to grow our next generation of pickleball players!
