At its inaugural Angels Open, held at the Florida Yacht Club on May 2, nonprofit Angels for Allison raised enough funds to support and aid 20 families experiencing devastating loss.
The day included live ball tennis and round-robin pickleball matches along with a triples pro exhibition. The pickleball matches were the first to be played on the yacht club’s new pickleball courts.

“The tennis and pickleball community in Jacksonville is like a tight-knit family, and it showed at the event and through everyone’s support,” said Angels Open Chair Kayla Braude. “We look forward to growing and learning from this first event and making it even better next year, so be on the lookout to secure your spot.”
