My Story
The THIRD Annual Making Memories Classic
I am so excited to announce this year's edition of my "The Longest Day" project, the 2024 Making Memories Classic pickleball tournament fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer's Association Greater Indiana Chapter. Originally created in 2022, this event has achieved great success thanks to the help and support of many friends, family members and lovers of the game of pickleball. Both of my parents, my father, a smart, witty, accomplished retired physician and my mother, a woman with the energy, spunk and sense of humor needed to raise six children, passed away a few years back with advanced dementia. Studies have shown the onset of dementia may be delayed or even avoided entirely by remaining physically and socially active as we age. Pickleball, the most rapidly growing participation sport in the U.S., provides both an excellent work out and great social interaction. So, I could not think of a better way to honor and memorialize my parents while raising money to fight Alzheimer's Disease and all forms of dementia than by hosting a pickleball tournament as a TLD fundraiser. The first two years have been a blast and we have plans to make the 2024 event bigger and better than ever! This year's tournament will be held at Freedom Park in Greenwood, Indiana on August 16-18, 2024. Whether you're interested in playing in the event or just want to come watch and learn more about the sport, join us in the great city of Greenwood for a fun weekend!
