FRIDAY, MARCH 27 @ 24 HOUR PICKLEBALL
Join us for our 2026 Pickleball Tournament!
Join us for the Ezekiel Ministries Pickleball Tournament on Friday, March 27 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at 24 Hour Pickleball Club in Lexington, a fun and competitive afternoon that brings our community together for a powerful purpose.
All proceeds support Ezekiel Ministries’ work of connecting caring adult mentors from the local church with kids facing challenging circumstances across Richland and Lexington Counties. Our goal is to raise $40,000, which sustains more than 1,600 hours of one-to-one mentoring and nearly 750 hours of ongoing coaching and support for mentors, helping kids and families experience Jesus and know they are not walking alone. Whether you play, sponsor, or cheer from the sidelines, your involvement helps make life changing relationships possible in 2026 and beyond.
About the tournament: This is a non-DUPR-rated tournament built with fun first, and just the right dose of friendly competition mixed in. Players of all ages and genders will play together, with brackets for recreational, intermediate, and competitive levels so everyone has a place to jump in and enjoy the day.
You’re welcome to register as a team or as an individual. Coming solo? No problem at all; we’ll pair you with a teammate before the tournament.
More than anything, this day is about showing up, playing hard, laughing a lot, and rallying around the mentoring work of Ezekiel Ministries right here in our community. We can’t wait to be on the courts together!
