Jason (“Jayho”) Tong had a gift.

Through weekly pickleball games, he brought together a group of people who might not otherwise have found the time to connect. What started as a game became something much more — friendship, camaraderie, laughter, and a standing Sunday tradition.

Jay didn’t just love pickleball. He loved bringing people together.

The Jayho Pickleball Classic was created to continue that spirit by honoring Jay by providing scholarships to children impacted by tragedy.
