PickleGras 2025

 
Our Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati will host its annual fundraiser, PickleGras, on March 8, 2025, at Aces Pickleball Bar + Grill in Norwood. This fun, Mardi Gras-themed event begins at 4:00 PM with a competitive pickleball tournament, followed by open play, a buffet-style dinner, open bar, and a silent auction. While some attendees enjoy pickleball, others relax, watch the games, and connect over great food and conversation.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for both companies and individuals. Please see the flyer for details and share it with friends, colleagues, or businesses who may be interested.

Your support is vital to the success of our Foundation’s mission: “to support children, particularly those whose future development is impaired by physical, cultural, emotional, financial, and social obstacles.” Proceeds from PickleGras help fund:

  • Year-round programs at Camp Allyn/Stepping Stones
  • Holiday Party at Roselawn Condon School
  • Grants to local nonprofits supporting children with disabilities, including Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Cincinnati Parks Foundation, ProKids, and St. Rita’s School for the Deaf.
