Help Veterans Thrive Through Pickleball

Dear Donor,

My name is Joe Wilson and I am a US Navy Combat Veteran. I am also the CEO of the National Veterans Pickleball League, a non-profit organization.

After separating from the military, I found transitioning into civilian life difficult. I sought out different activities to help alleviate these difficulties and that is when I came across the game of pickleball.

Playing pickleball has helped me adjust to civilian life. It has improved my mental, physical and overall well-being. I have met some of the kindest, encouraging people on the pickleball courts.

It is my greatest hope to see other veterans and their families benefit as I have from playing pickleball.

In order to accomplish these goals, I would appreciate community partners and donors.

In Fall of 2024, I am organizing a tournament for the NVPL at one of our local outdoor facilities. In order to do so, the NVPL is in need of equipment (Paddles, balls, portable nets, safety glasses, and court rental fees etc.) and donations. This equipment will be used for this upcoming event and for all future NVPL events. My hope for the NVPL is that no veteran (including their family) would be discouraged from participating because they do not have the required equipment.

Any and all donations, including monetary support, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
