On Saturday, Feb. 4, and Sunday, Feb 5, the Summit County Pickleball Association successfully hosted an indoor tournament at the Breckenridge Recreation Center to help benefit the Summit County nonprofit Smart Bellies.
The two-day tournament saw 70 players and netted over $10,000 for Smart Bellies. Since the tournament was a fundraiser all the proceeds of the weekend will go to help Smart Bellies provide nutritious meals to Summit County students and families.
“The vibe throughout the weekend was so positive and upbeat,” Summit County Pickleball Association secretary Julie Worthington said. “Such a good way to bring pickleball players together in the winter and for such a great cause. The success would not have been possible without out sponsors, Xcel Energy, Breckenridge Grand Vacations, Alpine Bank, the Town of Breckenridge and Summit County Pickleball Association.”
