Picklepalooza held in memory of Leilani Brown

On Saturday, October 26, Chincoteague Island pickleball players held the second annual Picklepalooza, a charity fundraiser in memory of Leilani Brown, an avid pickleball enthusiast and member of the Eastern Shore community, who passed away in 2023.

After a rain delay and cleanup, 42 players competed in a round robin style tournament using both the outdoor and indoor courts on Chincoteague. A potluck for players and spectators was held afterwards.

The group raised $4,500 for the Eastern Shore Coalition Against Domestic Violence through donations and a raffle.
