Join UJUMP for 2026 Our Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser

Get ready to hit the court for a great cause! UJUMP is hosting its first Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser on Saturday, November 14, at Tap N Paddles in Wichita.

Whether you’re an experienced pickleball player or just enjoy a little friendly competition, this event is an opportunity to have some fun while supporting UJUMP students and the experiences that help them learn, grow and succeed.

Registration is $70 per person, and all proceeds from the fundraiser will help support expenses for UJUMP students.

Players can compete for first- and second-place prizes, with plenty of fun throughout the day.

More Than a Pickleball Tournament

The fundraiser is also a chance to learn more about UJUMP and the young people the program serves.

Attendees will have an opportunity to meet Cheese Johnson, Founder and President of UJUMP and former Wichita State basketball player, along with UJUMP students who will share some of their experiences with the program.

UJUMP is committed to providing mentorship and meaningful opportunities that help young people build confidence, develop life skills and prepare for their futures. By participating in the tournament, you’re helping make those opportunities possible.
