Pickleball for a Purpose!

Grab your paddles and join us for a day full of purpose and play! 🏓💥

This tournament is being held in honor of 13 year old Adrian Owens, a courageous young boy from Huntington, WV who is battling Stage 5 kidney failure. Adrian is currently undergoing daily dialysis while he waits for a life-saving kidney transplant.

All proceeds from this event will go directly to support both Adrian’s family and the donor’s family — helping cover the overwhelming costs of medical care, travel, lodging, and time away from work as they navigate this life-changing journey. 💚

By signing up, you're not just playing a game... you're helping give Adrian and his donor the chance at a brighter, healthier future. Let’s rally together and show these two amazing families the power of community and love! 💚✨
