Pickleball Fest
The Medford Rogue Rotary Pickleball Fest is more than a weekend of competition—it’s our club’s signature annual fundraiser and a powerful way to turn community participation into local impact. In 2026, the tournament welcomed more than 200 players and raised an estimated $36,000–$38,000 to support Rotary projects and programs in our community. With the help of dozens of club members, volunteers, sponsors, and our tournament partner, Pickleball Is Great (P.I.G.), Pickleball Fest brings people together for a great weekend while generating meaningful resources that allow Medford Rogue Rotary to continue making a difference throughout Southern Oregon.
