Grand Rapids' pickleball venue Dinks and Dingers is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness month through this year's Dink Pink Classic, combining the sport of pickleball with a fundraiser.

For Dinks and Dingers owner Andy Anderson, the cause hits close to home, as his wife discovered she had breast cancer following a broken ankle on a pickleball court, where the diagnosis occurred while she was recovering from the injury. She is currently in remission, but giving back to survivors doesn't stop there.

The Dink Pink Classic will be held at Dinks and Dingers on Saturday, October 17 beginning at 8 p.m. and will feature two tournaments: a pickleball tournament and cornhole tournament, where men's and women's divisions will be featured. The event will also have food and beverages available on site.
