A pickleball event was held Saturday and Sunday to raise funds for Eli Curry, a Jackson resident who lost his home in a fire the first week of February.

About 80 people competed – young and old – in men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles at 2940 Old Medina Road.

The event raised approximately $10,000.

For those who would like to contribute, give Jeremy Chandler a call at 731.327.6377.
