Pickle Breakers Rally for a Cause

The Pickle Breakers, a Texas-based team known for their record-setting endurance rallies, are returning to the court this November 29–30 for another world-record attempt — this time with a powerful purpose. The event will be organized by the registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit Pickle Breakers Foundation, ensuring all donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
This 40-hour nonstop pickleball marathon will be dedicated to raising funds for Texas pro pickleball player Thomas Wilson, who is undergoing treatment for a serious health condition requiring costly stem cell therapy — estimated at $22,000 per session.
Wilson, one of the sport’s most respected and beloved professionals, has been open about his ongoing health challenges and his hope that stem cell treatments can help him recover. The Pickle Breakers, led by Chong “CK” Kim, are turning their second world record attempt into a mission of hope and healing.
“Thomas represents everything this sport is about — grit, heart, and community,” said CK Kim, founder of Pickle Breakers. “We’ve broken records before, but this time we’re breaking them for something much bigger than ourselves.”
The 40-hour rally will take place at Pickler Universe in Carrollton, Texas, and will be livestreamed nationally for fans to follow every serve, smash, and milestone. Viewers can donate directly during the broadcast through a special campaign link and QR code displayed throughout the event.

A Record for Good
The Pickle Breakers team first made headlines earlier this year with their 36-hour mixed doubles world record attempt. That event drew coverage from outlets like The Kitchen, Pickleheads, and Pickleball.com, as well as local TV networks.
