On Saturday, April 26th, the inaugural UNC Anesthesiology Pickleball Tournament brought department members together in friendly competition to raise funds for UNC Global Anesthesia and its patient care mission in Lilongwe, Malawi. Over a morning of Round Robin-style play, cheering family members & breakfast delivery courtside, four teams of pickleball enthusiasts squared off, with Team “Spinal Tap-Outs” prevailing over the competition, and Team “(Nerve) Block Party” receiving the honorary Wooden Paddle award for last place.
