Presented by National Ataxia Foundation

2027 Pickleball Tournament

Registration is closed

The Ataxia Open honors the life of Deanna Adams, who passed away from SCA3 in 2023. Ataxia, a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects coordination, balance, and speech, has impacted my family for generations, making this event deeply personal. Together, we're raising awareness, funding research, and bringing hope to families affected by this disease.

After an incredible first year, we exceeded our fundraising goal of $15,000 by raising more than $33,000. The event sold out 150 tickets in just four days and generated over $10,000 through raffle baskets and a silent auction. What began as a way to honor Deanna's legacy is growing into a movement that drives awareness, advances research, and creates lasting impact for the ataxia community.
