Pickleball Fest: More Than a Tournament, It’s How We Serve

The 6th Annual Medford Rogue Rotary Pickleball Fest, presented by Lithia 4 Kids, is one of our club’s signature fundraisers and one of the most important ways we generate the resources needed to serve our community.

While players come for great competition and a fun weekend on the courts, the impact reaches far beyond pickleball.

The dollars raised through Pickleball Fest help fund the projects that define Medford Rogue Rotary. They support youth programs, scholarships, community events, playground builds, literacy initiatives, food security efforts, World Community Service projects, and countless opportunities to respond when our community needs us most.

Simply put, our ability to say “yes” to new ideas and meaningful service projects depends on the success of events like this.

Every Rotarian Can Make a Difference

Whether you’re an avid pickleball player or have never picked up a paddle, there is a place for you to help.

Volunteer

It takes dozens of Rotarians to make this event successful. From greeting players and checking in participants to helping with photos, hospitality, setup, teardown, and sponsorship support, every volunteer role helps create an exceptional experience for our guests.

Our goal isn’t just to run a tournament. It’s to showcase the hospitality, professionalism, and fellowship that make Medford Rogue Rotary special.

Help Find Sponsors

Business sponsorships are one of the biggest drivers of the tournament’s success. If you have relationships with local businesses, employers, or community organizations, consider making an introduction. Every sponsorship helps expand the impact we can make throughout the year.

Play or Invite Others

Know someone who loves pickleball? Invite them to register. Share our tournament on social media. Encourage friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to participate. Every player helps support Rotary’s mission while enjoying a fantastic tournament at the brand new Pickleball Complex.

Make a Donation

Can’t volunteer or play? You can still help. Financial contributions directly support the tournament and strengthen our ability to invest back into the community through grants, youth programs, and service projects.

Service Above Self in Action

One of the greatest strengths of our club is that we don’t just write checks. We roll up our sleeves and work together.

Pickleball Fest is a perfect example of Rotary in action. Hundreds of players experience our community, local businesses gain exposure, new friendships are formed, and together we raise the funds that allow Medford Rogue Rotary to continue making a lasting difference.

As we prepare for another exciting tournament, we invite every member to ask:

How can I help make this year’s Pickleball Fest our best one yet?

Whether you volunteer for a shift, recruit a sponsor, register to play, or make a donation, your involvement strengthens our club and multiplies the impact we have throughout the year.

Together, we can turn a weekend of pickleball into a year of service.
