Why You Should Join!

Every game at Pickleball with a Purpose brings us closer to ensuring that children in our community have consistent access to the meals they need to learn and grow. All proceeds from this event will directly benefit Every Meal, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting child hunger by providing nutritious, delicious, and relevant food to kids, especially over weekends when they're not able to eat school meals.

Not into pickleball? You can still be a part of the cause by making a donation, participating in some fun activities on-site, or enjoying the event as a spectator. Let’s smash hunger together - one serve at a time!
