Merry Christmas, ITG Family. 🎄💙

As we wake up today surrounded by wrapping paper and ribbons, we can't help but think back to last month in Rome.

The truth is, the best gifts we received this year weren’t found under a tree this morning. They were found on 16 courts back in November.

🎁 **The gift of community** shown by 416 players showing up with open hearts and fierce competitive spirits. 🎁 **The gift of generosity** from our incredible sponsors who had the "guts" to back our mission when we aimed higher than ever before. 🎁 **The gift of hope** that we gave to every patient and family fighting gastric cancer.

To our players: Thank you for the energy you brought. You are the heartbeat of this tournament. To our sponsors [Optional: tag them here]: Thank you for building the foundation that lets us dream big.

We hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and maybe a little bit of dinking around the kitchen.

Merry Christmas. We are already counting down the days until we see you in 2026.

With love, Hans & The It Takes Guts Team

If players aren't enjoying themselves, what's the point? It's so validating to feel that energy. You couldn't buy a more potent medication than that.

The challenge in Rome brought the pickleball community together! The energy was amazing, and we're thrilled to return to the tennis center at Berry College. Excited for future opportunities!

Sometimes the most valuable feedback comes from informal channels. If you attended an event and have thoughts—good or bad—share them! We may not catch everything, but your input matters.

We're aiming for a pickleball tournament that excites everyone—from corporate sponsors and local businesses to the Rome Pickleball community itself. Imagine local restaurants and breweries buzzing with players from nine states! We want everyone to feel the energy and ownership.

Running a pickleball tournament is a massive undertaking! Last year, one player had a bad experience. This year, the logistics team ensured a flawless flow. Hearing only positive feedback makes it all worth it.

This area felt like a natural fit. There's a real need for attention and funding for these often-overlooked diseases. It felt like the right place to focus our efforts.

Watching the numbers climb before registration closed felt like a movie cliffhanger. We started consoling ourselves, then suddenly hit 400! The last-minute jitters were real. Landing where we did is exciting and so positive.

It started as a simple thought: 'If I'm playing pickleball and everyone wants to play, why not fundraise?' We didn't invent fundraising or pickleball. It was just a way to get people together and give back.

Four years in, and the positivity is still unbelievable. The turnout? Amazing. So grateful, even if I'm sidelined with recent surgery. It's okay to watch from the bench sometimes. A great perspective.
