 Doubles-Ladder Tournament 
Manzano Mesa Pickleball Courts
March 12, 2022

ABQ Pickleball Club and ACA Pickleball Club  conducted a doubles-ladder tournament for March 12 at the Manzano Mesa Courts. On behalf of ABQ Pickleball Club, we would like to thank the players, spectators, and speakers who attended the 2022 NM Kidney Foundation Benefit Pickleball Tournament. The excellent speakers not only gave us a lot of important information we can use to care for our kidneys, but also we learned how to help those in need of kidney transplants. There were 48 women’s doubles players, 52 men’s doubles players and 72 mixed doubles players in the ladder tournament with prizes drawn randomly. All donations received went to the NM Kidney Foundation (approximately $2,500), and we thank everyone for their generosity.
