Margie Barilla Foundation - Chicken N Pickle Foster Care Social Day!

The National Foster Care Social is a fun and engaging community event hosted by the Margie Barilla Foundation, bringing people together in support of children in foster care. Held on October 10, 2026, in Thornton, Colorado at Chicken N Pickle, this event combines recreation, connection, and purpose in a welcoming environment.

Participants will enjoy an open-play pickleball format with rotating partners, making it perfect for all skill levels—from beginners to experienced players.
