We are excited to announce a fun, new way for you to support the Washington Innocence Project — from a different kind of court.
We recently met with the team at 501(PB) about doing a fundraiser.
501(PB) hosts fun, friendly pickleball tournaments “for people that play with heart.” Each tournament raises money for a specific non-profit — and they have chosen WashIP as their next featured charity!
People love to play pickleball and love knowing their tournament fee can make a difference, so these tournaments fill up fast. Because you’ve been a great supporter in the past, we are giving you a chance to sign up before 501(PB) invites their community. To ensure everyone gets ample playing time, they are capping the event at 38 players, so grab your spot fast!
Here are the details:
Date: June 14, 2026
Time: 1:30-5:30 pm
Location: Mercer Island Community Center
Fee: $85
Plus, once you sign up, you’ll have the opportunity to bid in advance on fun advantages on tournament day (like choosing your starting court or your first round partner).
In case you’re wondering, you should sign up solo. Partners will be assigned and will rotate throughout the tournament.All levels from beginner to advanced are welcome. So whether you’re practically a pro or need to borrow a paddle to play, we want you there!
If you have questions you can email 501(PB) directly at thekitchen@501pb.com
Hope to see you on the court!
