Ateneo Alumni in BC Serve Up Fun at Inaugural Pickleball Fest

By Christian Cunanan / Maria Poe, AAABC Board Member

The Ateneo Alumni Association of BC (AAABC) held its first-ever Pickleball Fest, a high-energy, community-centered event that brought Ateneans, families, and friends together for a day of fun, friendly competition, and camaraderie.

This unforgettable event was spearheaded by this year’s stellar AAABC President, Gigi Grey Ricarse, and dynamic Vice President Heidi Caroline Ng, whose leadership and dedication made the fest possible. Their vision and tireless efforts, along with the full support of the AAABC board and volunteers, ensured a seamless and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Held at Dink Pickleball Club, the event was made possible through the support of certified Pickleball coach Mario “Poch” Cruz. Beginner players had the chance to learn the game, while intermediate players battled it out for top honors.

Congratulations to our top scorers and raffle winners who took home exciting prizes, including Ateneo t-shirts and VIP tickets to the ASAP concert at the PNE! Heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, including LemFi Money Transfer, ABS-CBN and ProSecure Financial. Their support helped make the event truly special.
