Chaffee County’s Peak to Peak Pickleball Club, situated in Colorado, has made a remarkable stride in the battle against Alzheimer’s disease, raising over $2,700 to support the cause.
A Generous Anonymous Contribution
Spearheaded by Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) Certified Instructor Jim Kochanski, the club organized a successful clinic, engaging 28 participants alongside eight dedicated Peak to Peak volunteers.
The funds were gathered through clinic fees, donations, and a generous anonymous contribution. Donations to further the fight against Alzheimer’s are welcomed on the Peak to Peak Club’s website.
Dedication To Growth
Those inclined to contribute can select the Alzheimer’s Association as their chosen recipient under the “funds” category on the donation form.
The Peak to Peak Pickleball Club has consistently sought ways to give back to the community, exemplifying their dedication to growth and positive impact.
Founded in 2015, the volunteer-driven nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status has been tirelessly working to expand the reach of pickleball throughout Chaffee County and its surrounding areas.
Fostering Social Interaction
The club aims to foster social interaction, promote active lifestyles, create nurturing player development environments, and enhance pickleball facilities as the sport’s popularity continues to rise.
