CASA HOLDS COURT Photos by John Watkins
We knew that pickleball was trending a few years ago when our Maria Barnes began playing, and planing a fashion line around the sport. So it’s no surprise that one of Maria’s favorite causes, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County, has taken up the game, recently hosting its second annual Pickleball Tournament. Chaired by Karen Jordan, Lourdes Nark, Wendy Tenebaum, and Linda
Young, the tourney drew 156 players and 89 spectators to The Tennis and Pickleball Club at Newport Beach. The winners on the competitive court were MoJo Mo’unga and Michael Guberger. The event raised $133,000 to recruit and train CASA volunteers as mentors and advocates for youth in foster care to serve as one-on-one mentor advocates.
