Pickleball tournament to benefit non-profits in Middle Georgia

Pickleball Meets purpose: Rhythm & Rally launches “Rally for Good” Series in Macon

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Rhythm & Rally Sports & Events has announced the launch of its Rally for Good series, a year-long pickleball initiative that blends competition with community impact. Each tournament partners with a different nonprofit, with 10 percent of player entry fees donated directly to the organization being supported.

Organizers say the series is designed to give players a meaningful way to compete while uplifting causes that make a lasting impact across the region.

The inaugural event of 2026, Paddles for the Park, will take place January 24–25 and benefit the Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve Initiative, which is working to establish Georgia’s first national park and protect the cultural and ecological heritage of the Ocmulgee River Corridor.
