Educate Fairfax is excited to host its first-ever Dink & Donate for Education Pickleball Tournament, a high-energy day of community, competition, and commitment to public education in Fairfax County.
Held at DTL Annandale, this all-day indoor event invites players of every skill level to grab a paddle and make a difference. From first-time beginners learning the basics to competitive players ready to bring their A-game, every rally supports students and educators across Fairfax County Public Schools.
This is pickleball with purpose.
Seventy percent of all tournament proceeds benefit Educate Fairfax, a nonprofit dedicated exclusively to supporting FCPS students, teachers, and schools. Through strategic partnerships and community investment, we fuel classroom innovation, support educators, and expand opportunities so every FCPS student has a path to success.
Whether you are stepping onto the court for fun, fitness, or friendly competition, you are helping strengthen our public schools with every point played.
All skill levels are welcome.
