Celebrate World Sea Turtle Day and the Aquarium's 38th anniversary by taking part in our first-ever pickleball fundraiser, Dink or Swim! Registrants will play in a doubles tournament at the neighboring facility Pickleball Virginia Beach to support the Virginia Aquarium Foundation.
There will be two tournament divisions, beginner and intermediate, and a free beginner’s clinic will be offered to get warmed up before the tournament. The clinic is free for participants but limited to 20 people.
Pick a partner and sign up for $150 per team. Registration includes a free drink ticket and snacks. The first 80 registrants will receive a complimentary commemorative t-shirt pictured with the Aquarium’s very own moray eel, Pickles. Each registered participant will also be entered to win a Sharks & Sea Turtles behind-the-scenes tour at the Aquarium. Court sponsors are $250 and includes registration for a team in the tournament.
Proceeds raised at this fundraising event will support the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center Foundation to provide quality care for the Aquarium’s animals, offer educational programs, conduct research and conservation work, and operate the nationally recognized Stranding Response Program. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.
