VFW Fundraiser Pickleball Tournament A Huge Success
On a recent beautiful sunny Saturday, the Tellico Village pickleball courts were alive with 112 players – along with hundreds of friends, neighbors, and supporters – to participate in the first Tellico Village VFW Post’s sponsored Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser. Nine different ability and gender brackets, playing in a Round Robin format, kept the courts humming from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Medals were awarded to the top three teams in each bracket and the general consensus of attendees seemed to be that. A great time was had by all!
Fourteen generous business and individual sponsors, along with proceeds from player registrations, an on-site silent auction, and cash donations brought over $4000 into the local Tellico Village VFW Postís general fund. This fund is targeted to provide In-Need and social support to our local brave men and women currently serving on active duty as well as veteran military members. The fund also supports their families, their surviving spouses, and their orphans. The men and women of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12135 would like to thank the entire local community for their fantastic monetary and spirited support of this great cause!
