Hello SCF Pickleball Club Members!
The Gary Sinise Foundation is a highly rated charity that provides support for military families. Gary Sinise is an American actor and humanitarian who was first introduced to the disabled veteran's community when he played the disabled veteran Lt. Dan in the movie Forest Gump and has been active in helping veterans ever since. Here is a link to the foundation and one to a video about Gary Sinise:

This event will be run by the Military Pickleball Association (Richard “Ice” Eisemann, retired Air Force, and Vicky Eisemann) who have been running tournaments for over 40 years. This is the biggest event of the year for the Military Pickleball Association, raising over $12,000 in 2022 for the Foundation.
The event will be open to Club Members, Veterans and the Public. It will be held over three days at the Wagner Courts complex.
Open Play will be available prior to the Tournament start times at Wagner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Also, reservations will be available at Sage courts during those three days.
Thank you to our club members who voted in favor of hosting this event! Sun City Festival has hosted the Pickleball Nationals Tournament from 2009 through 2014, and we couldn't be more excited to host another National Tournament this year!
