The APP announced a landmark sponsorship with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), one of the nation’s leading cancer research and treatment centers. The OSUCCC – James is now the presenting sponsor of the inaugural APP Women’s Open, which will take place Oct. 4-6, 2024, at Pickle & Chill in Columbus, Ohio and broadcast nationally, to kick off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Evident in its name, this APP Signature Event will be a global platform for female competitors at all levels. The professional and amateur tournament will offer $75,000 in prize money and feature women competing in doubles and singles, including skinny singles for women 50 and over. The event will also feature social programming and entertainment designed to celebrate and fuel the growth of pickleball for women, ultimately creating a healthier and more active community. All key elements of the vibrant, multi-day event will be presented by women—from players and referees to administrators and broadcasters.

“I am thrilled to stand alongside The James to elevate and celebrate women in pickleball and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Shannon Dan , APP EVP of global partnerships. “The APP Women’s Open presented by The James will be part tournament, part festival and 100% fun for women of all ages and skill levels. It’s an event designed by and for women: a place to compete, celebrate and connect.”

The APP is a proud supporter of USA Pickleball, the nonprofit National Governing Body of our sport. Since its inception in 1984, USA Pickleball has provided independent leadership and governance that has helped propel pickleball to the status it enjoys today as America’s fastest-growing sport. Free from the conflicts of interest that are presented by a single commercial entity attempting to “own” our sport, USA Pickleball equitably and neutrally serves all 50 million pickleball players across the USA – from those picking up a paddle for the first time to the best professional players in the world. The APP strongly believes that an independent regulatory and governance organization is critical to the credibility, development and growth of pickleball, a sport that is so important to so many people. USA Pickleball is that organization.
