Save the date! Our annual pickleball tournament, The Big Serve, will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at the renovated Darden Towe Park courts.

We are also excited to announce that Morris & Wells Wealth Management will again be our presenting sponsor! With us from the inaugural event in 2024, Beth Morris and the Morris & Wells Team are invaluable partners in deepening the impact of The Big Serve and Big Brothers Big Sisters overall. Beth is a member of the event planning committee, tripling down with her commitment of talent, time, and resources.

The Big Serve is about bringing community together to raise awareness and funds to further BBBS’ mission and work while also creating opportunities for our Matches to learn and grow through pickleball. Our partner Central Virginia Pickleball not only provides expertise in planning and managing the event day of, they also host clinics for our Matches, providing coaching for first-timers as well as those seeking to refine their game. Many thanks to Cathy, Maureen, and the cadre of CEVA volunteers who support The Big Serve and BBBS! 

Interested in learning more about becoming a sponsor, registration (to open this summer; more info to come), or how you can be a part of The Big Serve? Please contact Sarah Althoff at 434.244.0882 ext. 103 or via email.

We hope to see you on the courts on October 17!

Note: We couldn’t possibly have rain two years in a row, right? Just in case, Sunday, October 18 will be our inclement weather date. Safety first! Fun always!
