The Rotary Classic Pickleball Tournament is more than just a weekend of competition... It's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the fight against human trafficking and child exploitation. Proceeds from this event help support the shared mission of ending human trafficking throughout Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and beyond by benefiting organizations including the Rotary Club of Bristol, TN/VA, the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery (RAGAS), the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking (CCAHT), and other nonprofit and community partners dedicated to prevention, awareness, survivor support, and education. Tournament funds also help make this event possible while supporting initiatives such as a 24-hour hotline, emergency shelter, trauma-informed counseling, food, clothing, educational outreach, and other critical services for survivors. Together, these organizations are committed to protecting vulnerable individuals, raising awareness throughout our communities, and creating lasting change in the fight against human trafficking.

We're here to make an impact on the pervasive and growing threat of human trafficking. Children, women, and men across the Tri-Cities continue to be targeted, and this crime is far closer to home than many people realize. More than 50% of reported human trafficking cases in Tennessee originate from the Tri-Cities region, and approximately 40% of identified victims are children. Online gaming platforms, social media, and other digital channels have become some of the primary methods traffickers use to contact and exploit vulnerable individuals. We invite you to join us in this fight by participating in the Rotary Classic Pickleball Tournament and by attending the Rotary Human Trafficking Summit in Kingsport, Tennessee, on July 27, 2026. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps strengthen the organizations leading this effort and brings us one step closer to ending human trafficking in the Tri-Cities and beyond.

TOGETHER, WE CAN HELP END HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
