GHERKIN FOUNDATION INC

Established in 2024, the GHERKIN FOUNDATION is on a multifaceted, philanthropic mission to become the leading force in promoting youth pickleball by raising funds to assist underprivileged children in underserved areas. These generous donations will be utilized to provide scholarships for children to participate in after-school enrichment pickleball programs and camps across the nation. Additionally, we aim to support schools in implementing pickleball into their physical education curriculum by supplying them with necessary equipment and resources, benefiting all students. Because we believe in the transformative power of this rapidly growing sport, we are on an ambitious undertaking to promote and provide advocacy training and funds for high-quality public pickleball courts in low-income areas throughout the United States that promote healthy, active lifestyles and programs enriching the lives of youth, just as the Tony Hawk Foundation did with “Stand Up For Skate Parks”. Our Foundation focuses on partnering with local officials and grassroots, community-based organizations that plan to hire designers and contractors with strong experience building or converting courts.
