In honor of the 10th anniversary of losing Elli Zahn Westfall to depression, her friends and family are coming together to host the first-ever PicklEl Ball fundraiser. This pickleball tournament and community event is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and supporting suicide prevention.
The event aims to spark important conversations about mental wellness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health struggles. It will also raise funds for Mental Health America (MHA) of the Lakeshore chapter. Proceeds from the event will directly support mental health programs and resources in the local community.
If you have questions about sponsorship, volunteering or general questions, please email Lilly or Jamie.
Join us on Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 2:00-7:00 p.m., for a fun-filled day of pickleball, raffles, silent auction, food & beverage, and most importantly, an opportunity for our community to unite to support mental health awareness. We hope to bring hope, healing, and a commitment to mental wellness that will resonate throughout Sheboygan and beyond through celebrating Elli's life.
This event is brought to you by Link Pickleball.

Proceeds from this event will support MHA Lakeshore's suicide awareness and prevention programming. Locally and nationwide, we are experiencing a mental health epidemic across all ages. In fact, mental health ranked as a top health issue for the past two community health survey cycles in Sheboygan County. We are seeing rising rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidality in the county and nationwide. In 2020, suicide was the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10 - 24.
There is a critical need for MHA's preventative and early intervention programs, referral services and advocacy in our community. We are thankful Link Pickleball has chosen us to be their partner for this event.
