🚨PICKLE THE CAUSE IS NOW HAPPENING SEPTEMBER 26–27, 6PM–6PM! 🚨
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have moved our 24-hour pickleball-a-thon to September 26-27, 2025. The festivities will now be kicked off with a welcome reception on Friday evening from 6-9PM with dinner and drinks. If you would like to attend this and are not signed up to play in one of our time slots, still come out and see us. The pickleball-a-thon will resume after this and go until 6PM on Saturday evening! New Date. Same Mission. We can’t wait to see you there — let’s rally together for something great!
Join us for a 24-hour Pickleball-a-thon on September 26-27, 2025 at Paddle Up Pickleball Club in Chesterfield — all to raise money for cancer research through Pedal the Cause. You’ll take on Axes employees in a friendly game of pickleball, and every dollar goes to an incredible cause.
