WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Comfort Keepers announced a pickleball tournament at the Beau Rivage Golf and Resort as part of a nationwide fundraising effort for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

Players of all skill levels can join on Sunday, Oct. 13, from 1 to 5 pm for only $25 per person. The event will include a 50/50 raffle, prizes and awards, with all proceeds going directly to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“Comfort Keepers is proud to support the Alzheimer’s Association by participating in this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said Alyssa Kelly, Owner of Comfort Keepers of Wilmington. “The Association provides essential care and benefits to those affected by Alzheimer’s, from in-person support to online education.
