Join us for our first-ever pickleball tournament fundraiser

In just our first six months, we’ve grown to more than 50 members and have already made an impact by volunteering at events like Spiedie Fest, LUMA Projection Arts Festival, Oktoberfest, as well as organizing a Chenango River cleanup and a lake cleanup at Aqua Terra with Take Adventures Everyday. We’re now turning toward building sustainability so that VAST can continue offering affordable community engagement for adults in the Southern Tier.


This pickle tournament will directly fund our next six months of operating costs, covering essentials like web hosting, rentals, and program supplies. Whether you show up as a player, vendor, sponsor, or supporter, it enables VAST to continue growing and serving the community. 


We are hosting this at the Southern Tier Community Center, a space dedicated to community wellness as a division of the Children’s Home of Wyoming Conference. We are donating 25% of all proceeds to the Southern Tier Community Center to support their mission to provide our community with accessible support, resources, and programming.
