Our hearts are filled with gratitude after the successful Pickleballer Friends x Victory Tagum Open Play for a Cause – Part 2, held last August 1, 2026, at Paddle Point Pickleball Tagum, Mabini Street, Tagum City.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for spending your Saturday playing the sport we love while supporting a cause that reaches beyond the pickleball court.

We are grateful to share that the proceeds from the event have already been officially handed over to Victory Tagum through Pastor Joseph Doce by Pickleballer Friends President Jules Gazmen. These funds will help support the missionary work of the Victory Tagum delegates who will be traveling to Nonthaburi, Thailand, this October to share God’s love and serve communities through their mission.

Congratulations to our Top 5 Players who received medals in recognition of their outstanding performance during the open play:

🥇 1st Place: Joni Fe

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and generous hearts. Your support reminds us that every game played can become an opportunity to bless others and make an eternal difference.

As Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:19:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.”

May God continue to bless your generous heart. Thank you for choosing to play with a purpose and for helping advance His mission.

More Smiles Than Scores.
