Maui Strong Pro-Am Event: A Pickleball Fundraiser You Don’t Want to Miss!
Introduction
Hey everyone! I recently stumbled upon an incredible event that you’ll definitely want to hear about. The Maui Strong Pro-Am Event, sponsored by CourtReserve, is a pickleball fundraiser set to take place on Thursday, August 24th, from 5 pm to 7 pm. And get this—the courts are already fully booked!
I feel so lucky to be a pickleball player in Colorado. This great event is only an hour away from my home courts in Denver, I’m definitely going and I can’t wait to see some of you readers there. Please don’t hesitate to talk to me if you see me (I’ll be wearing my famous hoodie, lol).
Why You Should Participate
A Warm Welcome for a Noble Cause
The organizers are super welcoming, and the event is for an excellent cause. Participants are required to make a minimum donation of $200, which will go to either the Maui Food Bank or the Claydon Family.
An Exciting Experience Awaits
The Maui Relief Pro-Amateur Pickleball Fundraiser has planned a Round Robin and dinner featuring seven professional athletes. What’s more, they’re limiting participation to just 18 players, based on a first-to-donate-first-to-register policy. If you’re an intermediate-level player or above, this event is perfect for you!
Additional Perks
Delicious Dinner and Silent Auction
The dinner will be catered by Decent Pizza, and there will be a silent auction for players and guests. The professional lineup includes Craig Bobo, Stan Briggs, Joe Frasca, Ken Lehman, Mark Milner (great coach and great guy – luv you Mark!), Scott Moore, and Bill Muno.
How to Register
To secure your spot, you’ll need to verify your donation by emailing a screenshot or copy of your confirmation to julie@springspickleball.com.
For Non-Players
If you’re not interested in playing but would still like to enjoy the dinner and auction, a minimum donation of $50 is suggested. Just email a copy of your donation confirmation to the same address.
Why This Matters: The Maui Wildfires
The event takes on added significance when you consider the recent wildfires in Maui. These devastating fires have impacted both the environment and local communities, making fundraisers like this one crucial for providing much-needed relief.
Conclusion
So, why not join in? It’s a fantastic opportunity to have fun and contribute to a worthy cause. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to julie@springspickleball.com. Trust me, it’s a win-win situation!
Let’s make a difference together!
I hail from the picturesque landscapes of Denver, Colorado, where the pickleball scene is as vibrant as our city's sunsets. The game has changed my life in ways I never thought a sport could. You see, before I got hooked, my closest encounter with a racket was a fly swatter.
As far as my coaching credentials go, well, it's a classic underdog story. I was once the guy who couldn't tell a pickleball paddle from a pizza peel, and now I'm proudly sporting the title of Master Teaching Professional from the IPTPA. If that doesn't give hope to all my fellow klutzes, I don't know what will!
My love for pickleball goes far beyond the court. I run the In2Pickle YouTube channel, which is a blend of pickleball tactics, bloopers (mostly mine), and heartfelt stories from players whose lives have been touched by the sport. If you're more into listening than watching, you can catch me chatting about everything pickleball-related on my Pickleball Therapy podcast. And if that isn't enough, I've also penned a book titled "Play Pickleball", where I share everything from basic rules to advanced strategies, and of course, anecdotes of my own hilarious mishaps.
