Thank you for joining us on February 28, 2026, for the first-ever Love Pickle. Stop Cancer - RVA St. Jude Pickleball Tournament & Celebration. In addition to a competitive and recreational pickleball tournament, Love Pickle. Stop Cancer - RVA featured a celebration with live entertainment, awards ceremony, a silent auction with unique one-of-a-kind experiences and a program that highlights the impact that St. Jude has had on the community.
All proceeds from this event benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® Because St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital shares every breakthrough it makes, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to help thousands more children, including kids in Richmond.
