Additional Tickets Released for ICSC Pickleball Jamboree Fundraiser

Iowa City, IALocal News

The Iowa City Senior Center is set to host the second annual Pickleball Jamboree fundraiser on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at the GreenState Family Fieldhouse in Coralville. In an effort to attract more participants, additional tickets for beginner and intermediate clinics have just been released. The event is designed to teach pickleball to newcomers, with Pickleball Johnson County Ambassador Mary Ellen Hein emphasizing the benefit of having one instructor per court for personalized guidance. This approach contrasts with typical clinics that may have larger groups and fewer instructors. Ticket prices are affordable, with clinics costing $20 per person and team tournaments priced at $40.

Local sponsors include UnitedHealthcare Medicare Solutions and Hills Bank, all contributing to the Friends of Iowa City Senior Center's mission. The organization focuses on enhancing the quality of life for older adults through wellness initiatives and community engagement. For more details, interested parties can contact Heather Shane via email or phone.
