Past Tournament Successes
Every year, Tellico Village Pickleball Club chooses a charity to benefit from our annual Tournament and Gala. We and our sponsors have been able to raise nearly $65,000 over the past 4 years and have benefited charities such as Our Place, Special Olympics of Loudon County, and Smoky Mountain Service Dogs.
We have drawn participants from all over the Knoxville Region and from other states. This very fun event is followed by a Gala for our members where we continue to raise funds for our selected charity.
