The courts were alive with energy, laughter, and purpose this past Saturday at our Smash the Stigma Pickleball Open, and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who helped make the day a win for mental health.

Whether you competed in the tournament or joined us for the clinic, your presence helped raise more than $12,000 to support two vital programs: Netcare’s ROW One Program and Maryhaven’s Engagement Center. Through the ROW One (Reach Out Workers) program, Netcare offers street-level outreach to individuals who are publicly inebriated, many of whom are homeless or unstably housed, providing them with safe transportation to the Maryhaven Engagement Center. This center offers temporary, year-round refuge along with access to treatment, recovery resources, and support, helping individuals take critical first steps toward stability and healing.

From our generous sponsors — Huntington, Schoning Dental, KEMBA Financial Credit Union, Marker, and Selkirk — to the many individual supporters, your commitment is helping change lives in central Ohio.

Thank you to our vendors — StretchLab Powell, Wild at Heart, KEMBA, Deeper Dive, NAMI Mid-Ohio — and to our food truck, Pitabilities!

We’re also incredibly grateful to Dave Ganim and the Pickle Shack for being such enthusiastic and supportive hosts.

Thank you for showing up, speaking out, and helping us smash the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

 

Maryhaven and Netcare are teaming up to host the first-ever Smash the Stigma Pickleball Open—and you’re invited!

This exciting new event is all about bringing our community together through fun, fitness, and a shared commitment to mental health and addiction recovery. Whether you’re a seasoned pickleball player or brand new to the sport, there’s something for everyone. We’ll even offer a free beginner’s clinic to help you learn the basics!

If you’re looking for a little competition, you can also sign up for our Open Division Tournament for a chance to win cash prizes. Alongside the games, enjoy food, vendors, and a vibrant community atmosphere—all while supporting a cause that matters.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available, a great way for businesses to support a meaningful cause while connecting with the community.

Learn more about the event, register to play, or explore sponsorship opportunities by visiting our Smash the Stigma Pickleball Open event page.

We can’t wait to see you there!
