Students organized their annual Play for Hope pickleball tournament, raising a record $11,068 for the Canadian Cancer Society. The event brought together players of all ages, from young adults to seniors, and has become a lively community tradition over four years.

Ninety-six players competed throughout the day, showing skill, sportsmanship and teamwork on the court. Community members cheered on the matches, creating a day full of energy, connection and friendly competition.

Entirely student-led, the tournament was organized by Grade 12 students, with 25 volunteers coordinating matches and managing the event. Through this experience, students developed real-world skills in leadership, organization and collaboration, turning their passion for sport into a meaningful way to make a difference in the community.
