1.800.ASK.DAVE Becomes Presenting Sponsor for 2026-27 AFPC Season

1.800.ASK.DAVE Joins as Presenting Sponsor of AFPC

The All Florida Pickleball Circuit (AFPC) has officially announced that 1.800.ASK.DAVE will serve as the presenting sponsor for its upcoming 2026-27 season. This exciting partnership aims to directly benefit participants by covering certain entry fees, enhancing prize money, and providing giveaways during competitions.

Player Benefits

Under this initiative, 1.800.ASK.DAVE will subsidize entry fees for the first thirty players who register for each event, which could total up to 180 participant spots across the entire season. Interested players must reach out to AFPC for the promotional registration codes, which will be available for a limited period.

In addition to aiding entry costs, the company will contribute an extra $6,000 as part of the 1.800.ASK.DAVE Open Points Race. This sum will reward the leading male and female points holders in the Open division, with each receiving $3,000 at the season-ending ceremony at The Pickleball Club of Lakewood Ranch. Tracking of points will occur using the Minor League Pickleball national leaderboard system, ensuring transparent competition across all event stops.

All registered competitors will also be treated to complimentary gifts, including towels and wristbands, at each tournament stop — adding an extra layer of excitement to the competitions.

Community and Competitive Spirit

Dave Dismuke, the attorney behind 1.800.ASK.DAVE and owner of the Lakeland Palms team, expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration. He remarked, "One of the things I love most about pickleball is the community it creates. Through my involvement with the Lakeland Palms, I have witnessed the friendships and connections that blossom through this sport. By supporting the AFPC, we are committed to giving back to a community that enriches us. Our goal is to help advance the sport, making it more accessible to players of all levels across Florida."

Dismuke's past engagements with Florida pickleball include ownership of the Lakeland Palms team, a group that performed exceptionally well, clinching bronze at the All Florida Pro League Season 3 Finals.
