WE’RE BACK for the 3rd Annual Johns Hopkins Children’s Center Pickleball Tournament.

Building on last year’s SOLD OUT event, fantastic participant base and feedback, we look forward to the 3rd edition which promises the same pickleball community-centric environment, great vendors and sponsors, food and more.

100 percent of all proceeds support the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Trauma and Burn Programs. Last year we had over 200 participants and were able to raise a little over $25,000!  All proceeds go directly to benefit the patients and families served by the world-class doctors and nurses of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center Pediatric Trauma and Burn Centers - which is Maryland’s only designated regional pediatric burn center and only accredited pediatric trauma center in the state. The funds raised from this event were able to provide education and training opportunities for our faculty and staff, provided injury prevention giveaways to patients and families (smoke detectors, car seats, bike helmets, oven mitts, and more), and funded our Pediatric Trauma Bootcamp, which was a series of training sessions for pediatric residents to practice caring for trauma patient scenarios.

This year’s event, managed by PickleMeSilly, promises to be bigger and better with the addition of more player openings and classifications for skill level tournament brackets. Players registered for the event will be provided a souvenir t-shirt (select size at registration) and access to the great group of expected vendors.

If you're interested in being part of our event but don't want to enter the tournament, you can sign up for casual pickleball play. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow players and enjoy some friendly competition—all while supporting a meaningful cause. 

If you are unavailable on the 18th to participate, you can still support our event by making a donation.
