Pickleball Tournament to Benefit Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity

WESTFIELD — Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity (GSHFH) is hosting a high-energy pickleball tournament at the Picklr, 415 East Main St., Westfield, on Sunday, March 29 from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., bringing together players of all skill levels for a full day of fun in support of affordable housing in Western Mass.

The tournament is a two-player team round robin event, with the day divided into timed sections based on skill level to ensure competitive and enjoyable play for everyone. Registration is required, and tickets cost $50 per person. All proceeds from the event will benefit Greater Springfield Habitat and its mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. In addition to tournament play, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and Habitat merchandise throughout the day.

“This tournament is about more than pickleball — it’s about community,” said Aimee Giroux, executive director of Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity. “Every serve, rally, and point played helps us move closer to a future where everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home. We’re grateful to the Picklr and to everyone who shows up to support this important work.”

GSHFH is also seeking event sponsors to help make the tournament a success. Sponsorship opportunities include four levels: ace sponsor ($1,500), kitchen sponsor ($1,000), court sponsor ($750), and community sponsor ($500). Sponsors will receive recognition and visibility while directly supporting affordable housing efforts in the region.
