Oregon Community, Grand Peaks at Sisters, Rallies Fellow Pickleball Fans to Donate Disaster Relief Funds
Pickleballers launch campaign to direct monies to communities in need across the country via established disaster relief fund
Neil Amondson, partner in Grand Peaks, said, “With a long track record of supporting those affected by natural disasters, we are now drawing on our shared love of pickleball to bring this campaign to fruition. Our goal is to raise significant funds to help anyone in need affected by recent fires and storms to restore their lives.”
One hundred percent of funds donated to the campaign will go directly to the national Lutheran Disaster Response. (PayPal fees will be absorbed by Saint Luke Church.) This organization:
• provides care for people who have been affected by a disaster and for leaders who respond to a disaster;
• coordinates volunteers through its local affiliates; and
• provides long-term recovery efforts by addressing the unmet needs months or even years after a disaster strikes.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the nation: current estimates say the sport has more than 2.5 million players, up from only 30,000 players five years ago. Its growth has been attributed to its addictiveness, the social nature of the game and its appeal for all ages. Grand Peaks is the first Oregon community to be founded with pickleball as its centerpiece.
Donations can be made online via PayPal by visiting www.grandpeaksatsisters.com.
