On October 12th, the United Nations Pickleball Club hosted the second edition of its charity tournament. 30 participants followed the call to the Sportcenter Donaucity, where a Pickleball tournament in Americano mode was played for a good cause. The event was supported in its organization and implementation by the Pickleball Federation Austria. A total of 455 euros was raised for Doctors Without Borders.
There was a lot going on
The event was all about fun and community. The warm-up program was led by a Holmes Place coach. At lunchtime, participants were able to enjoy a buffet. Numerous supporters also provided goodies for participants. The winner was Abbas Nabizada, who beat Melina Lorenz and Sofia Futterknecht by collecting the most points overall.
Initiator Dolores Leppich: „On behalf of the United Nations Pickleball club, we would like to thank all of you who participated and contributed to this charity event! For your info, we have donated €455 to Ärzte ohne Grenzen. Lastly, a big shout out to the Pickleball Federation of Austria, to Peter Robic and his ExCom members for facilitating and contributing to this event! Your support has been invaluable!“
