Inaugural Battle for the Paddle Recap
We are overwhelmed with gratitude following the Brynn Wheeler Foundation’s inaugural Battle for the Paddle pickleball tournament on April 5th. The event was a huge success, all because of YOU, our volunteer team, and our generous sponsors, including our title sponsors - Legacy Builders So Cal and JRT Roofing & Waterproofing.
With 100 teams competing, over 300 people in attendance and an incredible $53,000 raised, this event exceeded all of our expectations. Every game played, every raffle ticket purchased, every cheer from the sidelines—each moment helped bring our mission to life.
Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and being a part of this growing community.
Congratulations to our WINNERS!
