Aloha friends,

We have some exciting news…

Our official website is LIVE:

https://www.paddleforwardpickleball.org/

This has been a huge step for us as an organization, and we’re so proud to finally have a home where you can learn more about our mission, our impact, and how to get involved. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just discovering Paddle Forward, we’re so grateful you’re here.

Making an Impact in Kahului 💛

We recently hosted a Paddle Forward camp with the Boys & Girls Club in Kahului—and it was one of those days that reminds you exactly why we do this.

• 30 kids were introduced to the game of pickleball 

• 10 amazing volunteers showed up to coach, encourage, and connect 

• We donated 30 paddles + multiple nets so the kids can continue playing long after the camp ended 

For a few hours, these kids weren’t thinking about anything except being on the court—laughing, competing, learning, and building confidence. And honestly, that’s what it’s all about.

How You Can Help

As we continue to grow, so does our ability to serve more communities and create more moments like this.

If you feel called to support, we would love your help:

• Donate to fund future camps, equipment, and outreach 

• Share our mission with your community 

• Get involved as a volunteer or partner 

Every dollar, every share, and every connection helps us bring pickleball—and all the confidence, joy, and community that comes with it—to more kids.

With gratitude and Aloha,

The Paddle Forward Team 💛
