PADDLES FOR A PURPOSE - THANK YOU FOR RALLYING WITH US! ππ
On behalf of Tita Eval Payawal and MN Courtside, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who came together to support our Paddles for a Purpose: Pickleball Tournament for a Cause.
What began as a day of fun, friendship, and competition became an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Through the generosity and support of our players, sponsors, donors, and friends, we were able to raise a total of β±37,050 for a little hero courageously battling biliary atresia and liver cirrhosis. ππ
It is with heavy hearts that we share that our little hero has now gained his wings and become an angel. ποΈπ€ Although his journey was far too short, he brought people together and reminded us of the power of love, kindness, and community. May he forever be remembered in our hearts.
We would also like to give our heartfelt thanks to:
Ced Dela Mines
Roie and Vam Roura
Ervin Garcia (INKitect Design and Print Studio)
Neta & Larry
Sharyn Lat
Gahlil de Mesa
Joanne Esguerra (J.Kitchen)
Your generosity, encouragement, and willingness to help made this event even more meaningful.
To everyone who showed up, played, donated, shared, volunteered, or simply cheered us on, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. π«Ά
This is what makes our pickleball community truly special. When we come together, every paddle can serve a purpose, every game can bring hope, and every act of kindness can make a difference.
Though our little hero is no longer with us, his memory will live on through the love and kindness that brought us all together. ποΈπ€
Maraming salamat po for helping us play for a purpose. πππ
