About this Event
Paddles for Plates Pickleball Fundraiser
Join us for an exciting day of pickleball, community, and giving back at the Paddles for Plates Pickleball Tournament! This round-robin-style tournament benefits MUST Ministries’ Summer Lunch Program, which provides meals to local children who face food insecurity during the summer months.
Why Your Participation Matters
During the school year, thousands of children rely on free or reduced-price lunches, but in the summer, many go without. MUST Ministries’ Summer Lunch Program served 505,570 meals last year to over 7,500 children across seven counties, with a 26% increase in need in Cherokee County alone.
Each child receives a meal kit containing:
🥞 5 breakfasts
🥪 5 lunches
🍏 5 snacks
🥤 10 drinks
Each meal kit costs only $10 to create, meaning a $100 donation feeds 10 children for an entire week!
During the event, volunteers will pack meal kits that MUST Ministries will distribute to children in need—your participation directly helps feed kids in our community!
