THANK YOU to everyone who participated!
Our Hitting Close to Home for Veterans Pickleball Tournament on Saturday April 29, 2023 at New Shrewsbury Racquet Club was a big success. Thank you to everyone who participated and the volunteers who helped us organize and run it.
We had a lot of fun and raised $23,000 for a great cause: our new Veterans Build/L.I.F.T. home repairs program.
Special thanks to our sponsors and the anonymous matching donor who donated $3,000, helping us to raise $6,000! All funds raised go towards house repair and upkeep projects for veterans in Monmouth County.
