Paddles with Purpose aims to build community around playing pickleball and caring for our neighbors.
Pickleball uniquely brings people of all ages and skill levels together, and our vision was to turn this community aspect of the game into a more meaningful endeavor.
Read Our Full StoryFrom the court to the community, every event has a purpose behind the paddle.
We identify a community organization — either based locally or serving those in our area — and meet with them to discuss the idea of hosting a charity pickleball tournament on their behalf.
Paddles with Purpose arranges the logistics of when and where to hold the tournament. The beneficiary organization helps recruit participants from its own support network while we draw on our list of previous participants, and together we set a fundraising goal.
At the tournament itself, Paddles with Purpose runs the match schedule, and the partner organization has the opportunity to share more about their own mission.
Grab your paddle and join us — every match supports a good cause.
