🎾 Dink Out the DarkPickleball Tournament & Benefit Concert
Shining a Light on Mental Health for Our Military Community
Presented by NAMI Johnson County, KS
Serve. Support. Shine.
This fall, the courts will come alive with energy, competition, and community spirit as we gather for Dink Out the Dark—a one-of-a-kind event combining the nation’s fastest-growing sport with the power of music and the mission of hope.
We’re rallying for active duty service members, veterans, and their families, raising critical funds for free, life-saving mental health programs through NAMI Johnson County.
Because no hero—and no family—should ever have to face the darkness alone.
