Dinking for a difference: Children’s Miracle Network Pickleball Tournament gives back

The community is invited to swing into action on Nov. 1 at the Children’s Miracle Network Pickleball Tournament and Social Clinic, a fun-filled event dedicated to raising funds for specialized pediatric care at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System.

Hosted in partnership with Tyler Racquet Club, the event will bring together pickleball enthusiasts of all skill levels for a day of friendly competition and community engagement. Whether you're a seasoned player or just curious about the sport, the tournament and clinic offer something for everyone.

Proceeds from the event will directly benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals), supporting the purchase of life-saving equipment, advanced treatments and essential services for children receiving care at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System.

One hundred percent of the funds raised stay local, ensuring that every dollar goes toward helping kids right here in our East Texas community.

“We’re thrilled to host an event that combines fun, fitness and philanthropy,” said Christina Mosier, program director for CMN Hospitals at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Foundation. “Every serve helps make a difference in the lives of children in our care.”

Community members, local businesses and pickleball fans are encouraged to get involved and show their support.
