Highlights from Laugh Your Pickleball Off!™ 2025
The 2025 event was held on Friday, September 26 in Sonoma County at the Doubletree by Hilton pickleball courts, and the comedy show took place at Balletto Vineyards. The headliner comedian and host of the event was the hilarious Frances Dilorinzo and the pro pickleball host was #1 ranked player Jillian Braverman. It was a sold out event! We're happy to announce that we raised just over $5K!
Highlights from Laugh Your Pickleball Off!™ 2024
The 2024 tournament was held at the Airport Health Club in Sonoma County's wine country, and Balletto Vineyards hosted the comedy show afterward. Headliner Comedians Trish Suhr and Erin Foley, who were the main acts of the day, left the audience rolling with laughs on and off the courts. And, Rachel Reset, the event's mascot was a hoot! We're still reflecting on the incredible time we spent together. The foundation is appreciative of everyone who helped raise the money needed for their goals.
We're happy to report that the 2024 event raised slightly more than $5,500!
To everyone who attended: Thank you for your support and thoughtfulness. Thank you for caring, thank you for believing, and thank you for joining in the quest to bring joy to children in the autism community.
