Serving for shelter animals:
Humane Society’s Pickle for Paws returns
PALM CITY, Fla. — The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast’s 4th annual Pickle for Paws charity event is expected to be a day of both fun and friendly competition, and all for a worthy cause — the nonprofit organization’s shelter animals. The event will be held at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club’s Pickleball Center, 13500 NW Gilson Rd.
The players will hit the courts in men's doubles, 3.0 and 3.5; women’s doubles, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5; and mixed doubles, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. The national anthem and a ceremonial first serve will kick-start the games. Awards will directly follow the event’s conclusion later that afternoon.
The cost to participate is $70 per player with all proceeds benefiting the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. Participants can view event details and register at: https://bit.ly/2026PickleforPaws.
Michael and Kim Izzolo, Robbie Jacobs and Jessica Agee-Bradshaw are chairing the event as volunteers to organize and host the event.
“We invite you to come and enjoy a fun day on the courts while helping animals in need,” said Michael Izzolo. “Spectators are also welcome to come and cheer on their favorite teams.”
In addition to pickleball play, there will be courtside attractions including Misty’s Pals Pet Therapy teams (trained dogs and their handlers), adoptable dogs from the humane society, raffles and a silent auction. All proceeds benefit the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.
