Pickleball With A Purpose
“Pickleball with a Purpose” attracted a significant crowd at the Missouri Pickleball Club in Fenton this past weekend. The event served as a platform to raise awareness and funds for the Kendall Johnson Foundation.
Tragically, Kendall Johnson passed away unexpectedly in July 2022 at the age of 15. Her mother, Michelle Taylor, established the foundation as a means to perpetuate Kendall’s legacy of kindness and compassion.
“Pickleball with a Purpose” was conceived by Michelle’s close friends, who share her passion for pickleball and stands as a heartfelt tribute to Kendall’s memory while simultaneously providing aid to those in need. The event drew over 100 participants, comprising both seasoned players and newcomers eager to learn the game.
Polk County High School
Looking ahead, a pickleball tournament benefiting the athletics and the tennis program at Polk County High School in Columbus, North Carolina, is scheduled for Saturday, April 20.
It will be held at the school’s tennis courts and will be sponsored by Ashworth Financial. The tournament welcomes players of all ages and skill levels, with all six courts configured to accommodate matches.
Check-in commences at 9 AM, with a registration fee of $50 per team required prior to the start of gameplay. Teams have the option to register online for the tournament, with a gentle reminder that only one registration form is necessary per team.
