Glisson Charity Pickleball Tournament

Description

At Glisson, camperships play an important role in ensuring that camp is accessible to everyone. Camperships, or camper scholarships, are awarded based on need and are intended to help campers who otherwise would not be able to attend camp at all without assistance. We encourage every family whose children would be unable to attend camp without support to apply for a campership.

Recent years have seen growth in the number of campership applications received each year. For Summer 2024, over $50,000 of campership funds have been requested and utilized by Glisson families.

While we are glad that families are accessing these funds in order to participate in the transformational experiences at Glisson, we must ensure that the Campership Fund is accessible for families well-into the future. Donating to the Campership Fund guarantees that these funds will be available for families to use when needed.

When registering for the Glisson Charity Pickleball Tournament, you are supporting the Campership Fund while participating in an incredibly fun event. All tournament-related profits, including funds from participant registrations, sponsorships, raffle ticket sales, and stand-alone donations will go directly towards the Campership Fund.

Together, we can make sure that no camper is ever unable to attend Glisson due to financial circumstances!
