The Avadian Foundation this weekend is hosting its first major fundraiser with an inaugural Pickleball for a Purpose tournament at The Picklr in Vestavia Hills.
The tournament will be from noon to 6 p.m. at the complex at 1031 Montgomery Highway, Suite 101. Proceeds will be used to assist various organizations with affordable housing, financial education, small business development and education.
Early registrants had to pay to participate, but thanks to a sponsor, remaining registrants can enter the tournament free of charge.
Sweepstakes door prizes include a prize package from The Picklr, Birmingham Squadron tickets and merchandise, and gift certificates to Taziki’s and Tre Luna. All first-place finishers will win a cash prize, plus event tickets to Red Mountain Theatre or Birmingham
