Our event will take place from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and will offer multiple levels of play so everyone can join in the fun.

A special exhibition match will run from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, featuring “The Badger” Dave Weinbach, joined by his wife Dina Weinbach and their son Sam Weinbach, as they take on members of the UW Pickleball Club.

A silent auction will run all day - closing at 4:30 PM.

We are honored to welcome several special guests throughout the day:
• Bucky Badger will be joining us from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
• Matt Lepay will announce both the exhibition match and the event winners from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
• Paul Braun, UW Badger Hockey announcer, will join us from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Both Matt and Paul will share meaningful stories about loved ones they have lost to Alzheimer’s, bringing a special personal element to the event.
