Here’s why you should consider becoming a sponsor:

  1. Support a Worthy Cause

  The Need Is Urgent: Help Families and Children in Crisis

  Homelessness in Los Angeles County has reached alarming levels. Over 66,000 people are homeless in LA, and more than 12,000 of them are children. These aren’t just numbers—they represent real families in crisis, struggling without the basic security of a home. Among those children, many are under the age of 5, the most vulnerable stage in their development. Without stable housing, education, and food, their futures are uncertain.

  In Los Angeles County, one out of every 13 children is homeless. Many families are forced to sleep in shelters, cars, or on the streets—creating trauma that impacts not only their present but their future as well. Without intervention, this cycle of poverty and instability continues to trap future generations.

  But you can help change that. By sponsoring the Paddle for Purpose Pickleball Tournament, you’ll be directly supporting efforts to help these families find stability, access critical resources, and rebuild their lives. Every dollar raised goes to Family Promise of Los Angeles, which works tirelessly to provide housing, job training, and other services for homeless families.

  Your Sponsorship Can Make a Life-Changing Impact

  • Children like Mia, 7, whose family has been bouncing between shelters and never knows where they’ll sleep next. She struggles to focus on school because there’s no stable place to study or feel secure.

  • Families like the Rodriguezes, who’ve been forced to live in their car for over six months after losing their apartment, unable to provide their children with the basic security they deserve.

  These families are in urgent need of support—and your sponsorship can provide them with the resources they need to break the cycle of homelessness and build a better future.

  More Than Visibility—It’s Hope in Action

  Your sponsorship isn’t just about brand exposure—it’s about making a real, lasting impact. You’ll be helping families like the Rodriguezes find housing, secure job training, and access educational support for their children. Together, we can make a tangible difference in their lives.

  Ready to Make a Difference?

  Join us as a sponsor today and help us raise $30,000 for families in need. Your generosity will provide more than just shelter—it will offer a pathway out of homelessness and give these families the stability they need to thrive.

  Together, we can serve up hope and create lasting change.
