Play for Gray Charity Pickleball Tournament Returns May 17

The Gray Academy OC is hosting its Third Annual Play for Gray Charity Pickleball Tournament on Saturday, May 17, at The Tennis and Pickleball Club at Newport Beach. The event begins at 1 p.m. and includes tournament play, food, drinks and plenty of fun in the sun.

Players of all skill levels—from beginners to advanced—are encouraged to participate, and spectator tickets are also available, which include food and drink.

All proceeds benefit The Gray Academy Orange County, a nonprofit, nonpublic TK–8 school that supports children with complex medical and therapeutic needs. The school was brought to Orange County in 2023 by local mom Dana Tompkins, whose son has cerebral palsy, to serve students who aren’t adequately supported in traditional school environments.

Funds raised will help provide life-changing education, therapy and support to children and families in need.
