Pedal the Cause

2nd Annual Pickle the Cause

Saturday, September 12 | 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Paddle Up Pickleball Club in Chesterfield, MO

We're back for year two — and we're going even bigger. Join Axes Physical Therapy and Paddle Up Pickleball Club for 12 straight hours of pickleball for a cause. Whether you're brand new to the game, ready for some friendly competition, or have absolutely no intention of picking up a paddle, there's a way for you to be part of Pickle the Cause.

Every dollar raised benefits Pedal the Cause, funding innovative cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Last year, our community rallied together to raise nearly $8,000. This year, we're ready to beat it.
