Hornets star Brandon Miller hosting first Celebrity Pickleball Classic in Charlotte
Charlotte Hornets star Brandon Miller is bringing athletes and celebrities together for a new fundraiser benefiting his Team Miller Foundation.
Charlotte Hornets player Brandon Miller is set to host the inaugural Celebrity Pickleball Classic in Charlotte on August 22 at Rally, with the aim of raising funds for his Team Miller Foundation. The event will feature participation from several notable athletes and celebrities, including Hornets guards Coby White and Kon Knueppel.
The funds raised will go towards supporting the foundation's various community initiatives, such as combating food insecurity and promoting access to breast cancer screenings through a mobile mammogram program. This cause is particularly close to the Miller family, as Brandon's mother, Yolanda, is a breast cancer survivor and emphasized the importance of expanding the foundation's impact in the community.
Supporters have the option to purchase tickets for the event or register to participate in the match themselves.
