The 1st Annual "Love, Abby" Pickleball Tournament

January 31, 2026, 4:00pm-8:00pm

Dill Dinkers, 500 Bushy Hill Road, Simsbury, CT

40 Teams will vie for the prestigious honor of being the first "Love, Abby" pickleball champion! 

ONLINE AUCTION IS NOW LIVE!

Don't know how to play? Who cares? Neither did Abby! The purpose is to come together as a community, celebrate Abby's amazing spirt, and raise money for the Abigail Zittoun Family Foundation to support families facing their own medical battles and journeys, provide scholarships and support other great organizations. Any level of pickleball experience is welcome! Your team must be formed in advance of registration. Players must be ages 14+. A little competitive spirit and enthusiasm are encouraged, but we are all here to have a good time so please be kind out there 💜.

Don't want to play? Totally fine. Come anyway and be part of the evening. Enjoy great food, watch others compete, bid on amazing auction items, and just have some fun. During the last hour, a few courts will open up for free/recreational play.  Spaces are limited so grab yours while they last!

All individuals must have a ticket to attend this event. All attendees ages 13 and under must be accompanied and supervised by an adult throughout the event.

All participants and attendees must sign a waiver form for the facility or entry will not be permitted. For faster registration, please print and sign the form for each participant and attendee prior to the event. Waivers will also be available for signing on the day of the event at the registration table.
