The planning for our exciting Kids4Kids’ Pickleball Event kicked off in August 2024, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since. A dedicated team of nine volunteers from the Kids4Kids Committee went above and beyond to ensure this fundraiser would be a remarkable success.
Taking place in November 2024 and fueled by the rising popularity of pickleball, the volunteers crafted an engaging tournament experience that included an auction featuring local brands from Englewood, trophies, sponsored prize money, exciting games like word searches and bingo, and delicious food offerings such as falafels and pizza, not to mention a variety of refreshing beverages.
Their hard work and commitment truly paid off when the final numbers were tallied. They doubled their initial fundraising goal, marking a record achievement for the student-run organization. By November, the committee had successfully raised over $20,000 in donations and sponsorships, showcasing the incredible support from the community. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our sponsors and donors for your generous contributions!
K4K is Breaking Records and Making History
The 2024 Pickleball Event has set a new benchmark for the Kids4Kids initiative. Every form of ticket sold out, filling the venue to maximum capacity and underscoring the enthusiasm that this fundraiser generated. Participants reveled in the thrill of the tournament, enjoyed open play rounds, received coaching, and participated in fun activities, including a lively photo booth. The supportive atmosphere fostered by both volunteers and participants reinforced the committee’s belief in the positive impact they are making through community service.
By the event’s conclusion, Kids4Kids had raised an impressive $30,000 to help educate under-resourced children in rural areas of India. This achievement reflects the committee’s dedication and underscores the strong support from our local community that is willing to contribute to this vital cause.
