Pickles for Paws raises money for shelter animals

Pickle for Paws combines friendly competition with support for shelter animals

Palm City, Fla. — Almost 100 women and men served, dinked, volleyed, rallied and more at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast's 4th annual Pickle for Paws charity event. They raised nearly $23,000, which benefits the humane society's shelter animals.

Players and spectators were greeted by Misty's Pals pet therapy teams and they had the opportunity to interact with some of the shelter's adoptable animals. Attendees also were able to participate in a 50/50 raffle and win a variety of raffle baskets and auction items.

Ramona Floridor-White sang the national anthem followed by 92-year-old Ralph Wakeam hitting the ceremonial first serve. Then play began and continued into the early evening.

The humane society is grateful to have the support of its sponsors, donors and committee members for making this event possible. Michael and Kimberly Izzolo, Robbie Jacobs and Jessica Agee-Bradshaw organized and managed the event.

Custom Pickle for Paws shirts and tank tops are still available for those who wish to provide more support by visiting this website: https://www.bonfire.com/2026pickleforpaws/.
