On Sunday, May 18, 2025 celebrities, sports luminaries, and entertainment industry executives teamed up for an all-day doubles tournament at the Calabasas Pickleball Club to benefit the Television Academy Foundation and the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighters' Fund (WODFF).
Proceeds from the event supported the Television Academy Foundation's mission to inspire tomorrow's Emmys winners through its industry-leading education and career training programs. A portion of the process also benefited the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighter's Fund, which provides relief for firefighters personally impacted by the Eaton & Palisades wildfires.
Special thanks to the Emmys Pickleball Slam sponsors:
