BC Lions Alumni includes Mike Crumb, Geroy Simon, Sean Graham, Sean Millington, Tanya Henderson, and Tommy Europe. David Snell, President, Pickleball BC, states: “If you have ever cheered on these alumni legends in their respective professional teams back in the day, now you can relive those days—but this time in the unique ambiance of a pickleball court with professional pickleball players. What’s more, the sponsorship dollars are benefiting charitable organizations in line with our PBC ‘give-back’ initiatives.” Several of the Canucks Alumni confirmed are Dean Moore, Ed Hatoum, Nathan LaFayette, John Craighead, BJ MacDonald, and others. "As a former professional football player and avid pickleball player, I couldn’t be more excited about the 1st Annual Pickleball Charity Challenge – Celebrity Edition. It’s the perfect way to spend a full day of sports, starting with a great brunch, then watching legends from the Lions, Whitecaps, and Canucks—like Geroy Simon, Sean Millington, Bob Lenarduzzi, Carl Valentine, Nathan LaFayette, and BJ MacDonald—compete alongside Canada’s top pickleball pros for a great cause. With the BC Lions game and Snoop Dogg concert to follow, it’s going to be an unforgettable day that brings the community together.”, stated Sean Graham, President, BC Lions Alumni Association ([email protected]).
