Paddle to Empower Pickleball Tournament
Play or give for a cause: transform young lives!
Believe in Our Expansion!
Whether you play pickleball or not, we need YOU to help For the Need launch Location 2 in 2025. All funds raised go directly to FTN's life-changing programs, which bring inspiration, character, mentorship, and fun to children and families in need.
With your support, the children in our program today will become the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow.
Get to know the kids.
TERRIANA
Terriana began her journey with us several years ago as her mom has been battling the terrible disease of cancer. Terriana and her sister have been to 10 FTN events, and they are always so happy to be with us. This family is near and dear to FTN. Help us make her dream come true of attending summer camp this year!
SAMANTHA "SAMMY"
Sammy has been with FTN a long time as she not only attends the events, but she also volunteers to help prep for the events. Also, she has been working toward being a mechanic by learning the skills of the trade with our partner Team Up Racing. Help Sammy attend Summer camp!
LOUKAS
Loukas has been with FTN since the beginning and has been to 14 FTN events. It has been a blessing to watch him grow up, come out of his shell, and truly bond with his mentor, Eugene. His mom, with tears in her eyes, thanked FTN for giving Loukas a male mentor to look up to.
ARROW
The other 95+ children are part of our Bow & Arrow Mentorship Program. Each child has a unique strory and reason for being part of our program. By supporting FTN, you are supporting them.
Help us help them reach their unique potential.
Thank you, WM, for being our Title Sponsor!

A word from Allie Spaccarelli, director of For the Need.
Thank you for giving and for empowering FTN to transform the lives of children and families who need it the most. We beileve in our Progams, and we believe in our expansion. Our founders not only volunteer at every FTN event and in the preparation leading up to the events, but they also fund 100% of the staff costs at FTN, and they chose to sponsor the prize money for Paddle to Empower to make this fundraiser truly special and incredibly awesome. We are doing our part to give FTN every chance to succeed. Now, it is time for you, the community, to step up too.
