Robin Hood x CityPickle

Pickleball is even better when playing for a cause.

Robin Hood’s third annual Pickleball Tournament brought together an incredible community of supporters at CityPickle at Wollman Rink in Central Park for an evening of competition, connection, and giving back. Together, the event raised more than $250,000 to help Robin Hood create opportunity and fight poverty across New York City.

Playing for a purpose

As New York City’s largest poverty-fighting organization, Robin Hood works to create pathways out of poverty for New Yorkers across the five boroughs. CityPickle is proud to partner with Robin Hood and put our courts to work in support of that mission.

Throughout the evening, players took to the courts while friends, colleagues, and supporters cheered from the sidelines—all helping raise critical funds while bringing the community together.

And, of course, there was a little friendly competition.

Congratulations to Team JOOLA, featuring Eric White and Yankees legend Tino Martinez, who took home this year’s championship title.
