The Bill Martin Memorial Pickleball Scramble Was A Great Success!
A huge thank you to all the players, sponsors, Columbus Pickleball Club Members and all who attended the Bill Martin Pickleball Scramble for Thrive Alliance on Saturday, May 4 at CERA Sports Park. The amazing efforts of dozens of helpers made it possible to dry the courts in the morning and make it possible to complete the tournament.
Donations in memory of Bill Martin are still possible at https://thrive-alliance.org/donate/
