Race Overview:

A Team Rocky Mountain Fundraiser for the 2026 Transplant Games of America

Grab a paddle, bring your appetite, and play for something bigger.

Play for Life is a high-energy pickleball tournament and silent auction benefiting Team Rocky Mountain, the host team for the 2026 Transplant Games of America—a national celebration of life, strength, and possibility after transplant.

The tournament will feature 24 doubles teams, beginning with round-robin play to guarantee plenty of court time, followed by an elimination round to crown our champions. Whether you’re here to compete, cheer, or connect, this event brings together athletes, supporters, and advocates in a fun, mission-driven atmosphere.

Off the court, guests can bid in our silent auction and enjoy a Taco Feast—because good food and good causes belong together.

 TACO FEAST MENU
Chicken Tinga | Warm Tortillas | Southwestern Black Beans | Cilantro Lime Rice | Salsa | Sour Cream | G’s Spicy Potatoes

Location: Chicken N Pickle – Thornton
Date: March 15, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Every serve, every bid, and every ticket helps support Team Rocky Mountain athletes as they prepare to represent our region at the 2026 Transplant Games of America—showing firsthand what is possible because of organ donation.

Your generosity powers athletes, honors donors, and proves what’s possible after a transplant.

Pickleball Team Tickets are for a team of two; you will be asked the name of your team and your partner's name.
