Pickleball Club Hosts Fundraiser to Make Sport More Accessible
The Pickleball Club at the university recently hosted a successful fundraiser to make the sport more accessible to all students. The event, which offered snacks and treats, aimed to raise money for upcoming events and cover the costs of equipment needed to play pickleball.
Maimouna Diallo, the club’s treasurer, highlighted the importance of fundraising to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent students from participating in the sport. With pickleball equipment being relatively costly, the club took charge of raising the necessary funds independently.
The club’s vice president, Jocelyn Rabadi, shared that they will be hosting a bake sale on December 18, where they will be offering hot cocoa and sweets to students. This event will not only help cover club-related expenses but also keep things exciting for everyone involved.
Arianna Esposito, the club’s president, expressed her excitement for the upcoming bake sale, emphasizing the importance of bringing people together for a fun time while supporting the club. The event is not just about raising money but also about building a stronger community within the university.
The Pickleball Club meets every Friday, providing students with the opportunity to play, connect, and socialize. Layla Rabadi, a member of the club, encouraged those unfamiliar with pickleball to join in, emphasizing that the club is a space for everyone, regardless of their experience level.
With the popularity of pickleball on the rise, the club is dedicated to providing more opportunities for students to get involved in the sport. The funds raised from the recent fundraiser and upcoming events will help the club organize more activities and purchase additional equipment.
For those interested in participating in future pickleball initiatives, they can reach out to the club’s president via email. The Pickleball Club is committed to giving students a space where they can enjoy the sport, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
