Get Your Pickleball On

The Drew Brees Celebrity Pickleball Event, presented by JUSTIN Vineyards and Winery and hosted by NFL legend Drew Brees, is returning to bring together celebrities, athletes, chefs, and hunger-relief supporters for an afternoon of pickleball for a good cause. This year’s celebrity athlete players include former world-ranked tennis player James Blake, Hall of Fame NHL player Jeremy Roenick, and Drew Brees himself. Celebrity participants include Glenn Howerton, actor from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Sirens and co-founder of Four Walls Whiskey.
