Making a Difference One Pickleball Match at a Time
We recently hosted our first annual Pickleball fundraiser with Pickletopia, and it was a resounding success! We're so grateful to our community, who came together to support our mission of creating safe and inspiring spaces for children facing serious illnesses.
Our event was more than just fun and games; it was about making a tangible difference in the lives of these brave kids. Thanks to the generosity of our participants, volunteers, and donors, we raised funds during the tournament with over 130 players registered for our all day event. The proceeds from this event, generously hosted by our pickleball experts from Pickletopia, will go a long way in helping us continue our mission of creating healing spaces for these children.
A Day of Fun and Fundraising
Here's a look at some of the highlights from our Pickleball fundraiser!
Pickleball for a Cause
Pickleball players of all ages and skill levels gathered to compete in a spirited tournament. It was a day of friendly rivalry, cheers, and laughter.
Auction Action
We hosted a lively auction, featuring an array of valuable items generously donated by local businesses and supporters. The bidding wars were intense, but it was all in the spirit of giving. Thanks to our incredible donors who made this auction possible.
Fueling Up for a Good Cause
Attendees could refuel and satisfy their cravings with delicious boba tea and mouthwatering hot dogs. The food offerings were a hit, keeping everyone energized and satisfied.
Show Your Support
All of our players received fun merchandise, including T-shirts, swag bags (pickleball central), hydration packs (Jigsaw) and more, allowing people to take home a piece of the event while supporting our cause. Our winners also received fun prizes from os1 socks, addict pickleball and Pickletopia.
A Community Affair
The event wasn't just about fundraising; it was also an opportunity for families to enjoy a day of fun, connect with the community, and take part in various activities and games. Thanks to the news coverage provided by Tampa Bay Times and Fox 13 Tampa Bay.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
Our Pickleball fundraiser was a remarkable day filled with joy and unity. Thanks to the support of our community, we raised funds to continue our mission of creating healing spaces for children facing serious illnesses, at no cost to their family.
These events not only contribute to our cause but also serve as a reminder that together, we can make a meaningful impact and bring hope to those who need it most.
