Pickleball Palooza: A Celebration of Community, Giving, and Fun!
Pickleball Palooza, presented by Dr. Christopher Plaman of Precision Medical Hair Restoration & Aesthetics, brought three unforgettable days of community celebration, connection, and joy. This vibrant event showcased the incredible impact of the foundation and the spirit of giving back.
New Mexico’s Largest Pickleball Tournament took center stage, drawing over 300 passionate players from across the region. The courts were alive with energy, competition, and camaraderie.
Live music filled the air, creating the perfect backdrop for a weekend of festivities.
The Children’s Carnival was a hit with families, offering colorful games, exciting prizes, and endless smiles.
Delicious food trucks served up local favorites, while 🍻 a lively beer garden gave adults a place to relax and toast to a great cause.
With more than 1,000 attendees, Pickleball Palooza was a true testament to the power of community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to every pickleball player, sponsor, volunteer, and community member who made this event so special.
Together, we celebrated more than just a sport—we celebrated unity, generosity, and the joy of coming together.
