Monster Smash 2024: the first annual Attleboro Pickleball Tournament
Embedded Files
Our first annual pickleball tournament was a fundraiser to purchase and install lifesaving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) Devices at Attleboro recreational facilities, particularly Nickerson Park, home of three pickleball courts. We had 63 players participate in 8 events over three days.
This all-important initiative was kicked off and made possible by Sisters@Heart, a local non-profit organization founded and directed by North Attleborough residents Lisa Deck, Jamie McHoul-O’Hanlon and Caitlan Kane. To assist in saving lives in the event of a cardiac arrest or other heart-related illnesses, Sisters@Heart donated eight AED devices to be installed at City recreational facilities. Sisters@Heart Comittee member and firefighter Rich Burns visited the Monster Smash Tournament and told the story of his heart attack and what drove him to want to help the organization.
