ROCK THE PICKLE CALGARY
Rock the Pickle is not your middle of the kitchen average Pickleball tournament! November 22ND in Calgary let’s bring together the entire pickleball community along with celebrated celebrities for this amazing pickleball tournament.
​
Teams of two take on the challenge to raise $1,000 or teams of four $2,500 in support of two important causes: Melanoma Canada and Kids Cancer Care Alberta.
​
Open to all ages and skill levels, the event promises a high-energy day of pickleball action, courtside lunches, celebrity matches, and a lively social atmosphere. The excitement continues into the evening with the Rock the Pickle Ball—an epic celebration featuring cocktails, delicious food, live entertainment, and a spirited auction.
This unforgettable experience brings together sport, community, and philanthropy—right in the heart of Calgary.
​
Proceeds from this exciting celebrity pickleball tournament will help advance melanoma awareness, prevention, and patient support through Melanoma Canada, while also empowering young people affected by cancer through the vital programs and services offered by Kids Cancer Care Alberta. Together, we’re rallying for hope, healing, and a brighter future for those impacted by cancer.
