Our Mission
The D&D Nycum Pickleball Project, Inc. is a non-profit dedicated to honoring David's legacy by supporting and growing the local pickleball community through the annual David L. Nycum Memorial Pickleball Tournament, giving scholarships to college-bound students, and supporting charitable causes.

Congratulations to these very deserving recipients!
