Pickleball Unites with the RCE Foundation: Playing for a Greater Purpose
At RCE Foundation, we believe in more than just partnerships — we believe in purpose. That’s why we’re proud to bring the fast-growing sport of pickleball together with the powerful mission of the RCE Foundation — to strengthen the quality of life for individuals and families across Florida and beyond.
Since 2020, the RCE Foundation has cultivated life-changing collaborations with organizations such as The Cygnet School, Achievement Academy, Central Florida Dreamplex, and Five Fish Foundation. At the heart of this work is a deep and enduring commitment to individuals with developmental and mental health challenges and the families who support them.
By joining forces through pickleball events and initiatives, we’re not just rallying on the court — we’re rallying behind a cause. Together, we’re building community, spreading awareness, and raising vital support to uplift those who need it most.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or picking up a paddle for the first time, every serve, every point, and every cheer moves us closer to a more inclusive and compassionate world.
Let’s play with purpose. Let’s unite for impact. Join the movement at RCE Foundation Pickleball unites!
