It's That Time Again!!

The Fifth Annual Making Memories Classic Pickleball Tournament will take place Friday through Sunday, August 28-30, 2026. Research has shown that as we age, maintaining good brain health is enhanced by both physical and social activity.  Knowing this, pickleball, which encompasses both, was our obvious choice for a fundraiser supporting the important work of the Alzheimer's Association. Since my wife, Anna, and I created the Making Memories Classic in 2022 as part of "The Longest Day" initiative, this event has grown each year into one of the largest and most fun pickleball tournaments of the summer in central Indiana. This year as part of the new campaign called, "Do What You Love to End Alzheimer's", we have plans to make it bigger and better than ever! Please join us in beautiful Freedom Park in Greenwood whether as a player, volunteer or interested spectator for a weekend of high energy fun in support of the Alzheimer's Association mission to achieve a world without Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Thanks!!

An awesome opportunity to bring attention and light to a very real challenge many families are facing... The loss of a lifetime of memories and connections to family and friends.
