Picklepalooza 2025 brought together 106 players, 70 new attendees, and 11 sponsors for a day of pickleball, purpose, and community. With a 43% increase in attendance and $14,530 raised to support inclusive workforce development, this year’s tournament proved that fun and impact go hand in hand. Thank you to everyone who played, volunteered, and cheered us on!
“Picklepalooza is one of my favorite i.c.stars events. It’s a special time when interns, residents, alumni, and our extended network, along with their families, gather outside of work to connect, have fun, and support a great cause. Last year, I had the joy of hosting the raffle and seeing the smiles on all the winners’ faces. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of community, celebration, and shared purpose. I’m so grateful to be part of such an inspiring network.” –Donshay Somborn, Cycle 01 graduate and i.c.stars |* Kansas City Tech Training Manager
