Serve It Forward Pickleball Scramble to benefit local family 

Community rallies around pickleball for a cause

JACKSON, MI (September 18, 2025) |

The Serve It Forward Pickleball Scramble, scheduled for Friday,  Oct. 24, at Crossroads Pickleball in Jackson, aims to support the Garrett family’s efforts to build a safe,  accessible home for their daughter, 11-year-old Kimmie. 

Over the past year, the Garretts, a family of six, have faced immense challenges as Kimmie battled a life threatening illness that resulted in the loss of her limbs. The Garretts' current home is no longer suitable  for Kimmie’s new mobility needs, and a more accessible living space is essential for her continued  recovery and well-being.  

This scramble offers an opportunity for players, spectators, and the community to come together to  foster an unforgettable experience while contributing to a significant cause. 

Tournament Schedule and Divisions: 

  • Date and Venue | Friday, Oct. 24 at Crossroads Pickleball in Jackson 
  • Recreational Scramble | 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 
  • Lunch | 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. 
  • Seasoned Scramble | 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 

Event proceeds will help provide something truly meaningful to the Garrett family—a thoughtfully  designed, accessible home filled with care and community spirit.
