Description

The Free Man House is transitional housing for previouly incarcerated and / or homeless individuals that are ready for a hand up vs a hand out.  They are offered a sober living environment, assistance in finding employment and activities to teach them how to be part of a community.  The resident must pay rent weekly so The Free Man House is not totally dependent on donations.  They use these funds for program improvements, transportation cost (maintaining vehicles) and housing.  They are currently in need of adding additional women's housing.

I am organizing a pickleball tournament benefiting the Free Man House on Sunday, September 17 at Chicken n Pickle in Grapevine, TX.  There will be a silent auction as well as a tournament with 96 players, max.  We are putting together swag bags for the players, donated items for the silent auction and getting snacks and food cards for the players to have.  We are also raising money for the awards for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place teams that win in the social category as well as the competitive category.

Registration will be $125 for a team of 2 and will include a swag bag + $15 gift card for food at CnP per player.
