Welcome to the 2024 Pickleball Fundraiser supporting the Ethiopian Community Association of Chicago (ECAC)! ECAC aids refugees from all around the world as they find work, home, and community in the United States. We greatly appreciate your contribution to this important cause, and we look forward to having you at the event!
Thank you to our sponsors who have made this event possible: Golub Capital, PLS Financial Services, Newgard Custom Homes, Richker Group Real Estate, Medalist Partners, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, and Spherotech. This event would not be possible without the support of our volunteer Jim Allen, who has been with ECAC for over two years helping with our English as a Second Language (ESL) classes.
