Third annual pickleball tournament donates to Oconto County Veterans Memorial
The third annual pickleball tournament was organized by Lorie Caelwaerts (right), who presented a donation check of $1,852 to Director Alan Caelwaerts (left) of the Oconto County Veterans Memorial (OCVM). Caelwaerts said that starting the pickleball tournament has allowed her to build the OCVM and to honor all veterans from Oconto County and have their names on the wall for free.
With even more participants showing up this year, Caelwaerts said she was able to donate more to the OCVM. The third annual tournament also saw more spectators, basket raffles and sales from food and drinks. The OCVM thanked Caelwaerts and everyone else who has donated to the project for their continued support.
