Big News for Egg Harbor: Pickleball Courts Coming!

October 13, 2026 UPDATE: "PAVE THE WAY TO PLAY"

The Door County Pickleball Club is collaborating with the Village of Egg Harbor in the construction of six new beautiful pickleball courts!  To make this dream a reality, we have launched a $500,000 capital campaign.

We have partnered with That's My Brick!® to raise money for our capital campaign. You can contribute to the campaign by buying personalized bricks which will be installed on a pathway at the new facility.  Please become a permanent part of this exciting new project and honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or display your family or business name.  Every brick purchased helps us get closer to meeting our goal!

To order, please visit: https://www.thatsmybrick.com/DCPBClub 

• There are two sizes of personalized bricks:  4 X 8 ($250) and 8 X 8 ($500)

• The ordering site will walk you through the personalization process

• Once you've completed your purchase, your brick will be held at That's My Brick until the campaign is completed in January 31, 2027

Thank you for your contribution and we look forward to seeing you on the courts in Egg Harbor in the summer of 2027!

October 5, 2026 UPDATE

Our fundraising for the new Egg Harbor courts is gaining steam!  Thank you to those who have already donated to our capital campaign.

We are excited to announce a $25,000 anonymous donation to our capital campaign.  The donor has requested that these funds be used as a dollar-for-dollar match to raise an additional $25,000—with the ultimate goal of naming a Shelter area at the new pickleball courts in honor of Kate Hughes.

Kate sadly passed away this summer and, for those of us who knew her, it's been a tremendous loss for our community.  One of Kate's greatest gifts was making people feel like they mattered and she never sought recognition for the countless ways she made the world a better place.

We want to recognize her legacy by dedicating a shelter area as a permanent tribute to Kate for her kindness, compassion, sense of humor, and her endless energy on and off the pickleball court. 

Every dollar you give today will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 for the Kate Hughes Memorial Fund. 

Please write "Kate Hughes Memorial Fund" on the contribution form for the Village of Egg Harbor.  This will allow us to track our progress on the matching campaign.  Thank you!

Please note that donations cannot be made to the Door County Pickleball Club's Venmo or Paypal accounts.  Donations should go directly to The Village of Egg Harbor along with a copy of the Pickleball Club Donation Form shown below.
