Come out to Chicken N Pickle and watch the premiere of “Pickled” on CBS. Steven Colbert will host a two-hour pickleball tournament that will feature 16 celebrities competing for a coveted “Colbert Cup” and benefit the non-profit Comic Relief US.
Donations raised will support Comic Relief safety programs. Since 2015, Comic Relief US has provided $51M towards safety programs, positively impacting nearly 2M children and young people facing homelessness, rootlessness and lack of safety. We focus on the most impacted populations, especially those who’ve been forced to migrate as well as those impacted by natural and man-made disasters.
