What Is a Pickleball Poker Run?
You and your partner play six games. After each game, both teams head to the Poker Card Stand to draw cards, and the winning team earns a bonus chance to improve its hand. Keep track of your cards on your scorecard. After Game 6, turn in your best five-card poker hand. The top two hands in each level win!
Here’s the twist: your pickleball skills earn you extra chances at cards, but it’s your poker hand, not your score, that decides the winners. Anyone can win!
Name a Court After Your Pet
Honor or remember a special dog, cat, or shelter animal with a personalized court sign featuring their name and, if you’d like, a photo. You don’t need to play to take part!
- Court dedication: $100
- Space is limited, so reserve your court early!
More Ways to Support AWL
Can’t make it onto the court? You can still help by becoming a business sponsor, making a donation, or contributing raffle items or baskets. Be sure to stop by and meet some of AWL’s adoptable pets, too!
