Pickleball courts donated to education center in Boca Raton

Kids at the Fuller Center’s west Boca Raton campus have a new opportunity to learn the game of pickleball. Facilitated by a donation from the Boca West Children’s Foundation and a partnership with the newly formed National Women’s Pickleball Foundation, the center now has two new courts.

The National Women’s Pickleball Foundation has launched the center’s pickleball program as one of their first local initiatives since starting the nonprofit. The organization is dedicated to empowering individuals through the sport of pickleball. Focused on community-building, education, and physical fitness, the foundation provides resources, programs, and events that uplift communities and enrich the sport itself.

CBS12 News morning anchor Sam Kerrigan and StormTrac Meteorologist Lauren Olesky spent the morning at the Fuller Center checking out the new courts.

 



 

 

Chief Development Officer for the Fuller Center, Brian Jones, joined them to talk about their mission of helping under-resourced families and children in our community and how these new courts will only enhance their efforts.
National Women’s Pickleball Foundation Co-founders Catherin Barton and Alita Friedman also spoke to Sam about the impact they are hoping this new nonprofit will have in communities across the country.
