Welcome to the Inaugural Desert Smash Celebrity Pickleball Challenge

We have partnered with some of the best in the sport, The Kitchen and the Miami Pickleball Club, programming a fun afternoon of one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. In the tradition of Desert Smash, we will bring together Hollywood and Pro Pickleball and all for charity, as this year’s Desert Smash event will benefit Charlize Theron’s eponymous foundation, the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project.

Come join us for an afternoon of fun on our custom pickleball court presented by our partners at Smirnoff Smash! You’ll see our celebrity talent battle it out as well as some of the best in pro pickleball! Your ticket includes admission as well as product samplings, giveaways, and knowing that you’re supporting a great cause!
