Paddles with a Purpose, powered by JOOLA, was a one-of-a-kind partnership kickoff event that featured eight of JOOLA’s touring and junior pros leading an instructional clinic and playing with registered participants in Round Robin Pro-Am sessions. All proceeds generated by this Pickleball partnership kickoff event supported the YMCA’s Send a Kid to Camp program, helping provide unforgettable summer experiences for children in need across our community.
