Pickleball tournament secures $10,000 for Cayman career charity

The tournament saw intense competition among local firms, including Walkers, KPMG, and Deloitte, with Cayman Enterprise City ultimately clinching the trophy. Beyond the sport, the event serves as a vital financial lifeline for Connect By Nova, which assisted 839 individuals throughout 2025 through school workshops and personalized career counseling.

Jasmine Zerjal, a volunteer board member who organized the event, highlighted the broader impact of the turnout. The funds will allow the charity to expand its reach, ensuring that more applicants can access the education and work experience necessary to navigate the modern job market. Sponsors including Wheaton and Jacques Scott provided the necessary backing to ensure every dollar raised goes directly into the charity's core programming.
