Your support of the 2nd Annual Salem Health Foundation Open will raise funds to help bring women's heart health awareness front and center within our community.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. Because women experience different heart disease symptoms from men, common symptoms may be ignored. Recognizing the early signs of heart disease can mean the difference between life and death. We hope to raise awareness about heart disease symptoms in women.
All funds raised will support heart health education programs for women and provide financial assistance to female cardiac patients experiencing hardship.
We will have a yoga session to help kick off the day provided by Common People Yoga. This is a completely complimentary and voluntary activity.
On Saturday, May 20, 2023 we will have our Recreational Doubles Pickleball Tournament. Pickleball play will have three (3) divisions - Women's Doubles, Men's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles
Current approximate schedule:
- 8a – Check-in

Thank you so much for joining us for a day of fun and for helping bring this important issue to light.
