United Way hosts pickleball tournament

FINDLAY — United Way of Hancock County is "smashing" into campaign season with a community pickleball tournament. This round robin-style tournament will be held from 4-8 p.m., Sept. 9, at Findlay's Riverside Park. Participants must be 18 or older and the tournament will feature men's, women's and mixed doubles. The entry fee is $100 per team, and 100% of each team's registration fee will go directly toward United Way-funded programming that serves 1 in 4 people in Hancock County. Thanks to the generosity of a local donor, scholarships are available for those who cannot cover the registration cost. Call the United Way at 419-423-1432 to discuss this opportunity. All who enter will receive a free one-month membership to Jim's Gym, along with one free Ninja course. The winning team will walk away with a custom trophy made by Kan Du Studio. Sign up by visiting www.uwhancock.org and clicking the 'Pickleball Registration' button at the top right. United Way of Hancock County's 2025 Annual Campaign runs through Nov. 21, with additional events planned and opportunities for workplace and individual giving. This year's campaign goal is $1.8 million, and all money raised will stay in Hancock County.
