Bethlehem Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser

The 2nd Annual Bethlehem Pickleball Tournament will be played on 10 beautiful, dedicated pickleball courts at Elm Avenue Park in the Town of Bethlehem. The tournament is a fundraiser hosted by Bethlehem Senior Projects Inc., a non-profit that supports the Bethlehem Food Pantry and the Town's Senior Services Department with the goal of helping seniors age in place and stay engaged.

2. Support the fleet of cars that volunteers use to transport seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores and senior social events.
3. Fund social events for seniors from lectures and health talks to dances and theater outings.
4. Fund the Bethlehem Food Pantry.
