Smash For Scholars

Join us for a fun-filled community pickleball fundraiser supporting the Chanell E. Gatewood Scholarship Fund and expanding educational opportunities for Harlem high school students.  The scholarship is administered by the Rotary Club of Harlem Foundation, a 501 (c)(3). Whether you’re playing on the court or cheering from the sidelines, your participation will help make a difference.

Choose from Spectator, Individual Player, or Doubles tickets and join us for an afternoon of pickleball, community, and fun in Harlem. Start the day with a pre-game stretch session with lululemon ambassador Ty Daye! New to the game? Atibia Williams of Volley and Vibe will instruct you how to play.

As part of our commitment to making pickleball more accessible in our community, eight complimentary player tickets will be available beginning September 12. These tickets are intended to give community members an opportunity to get on the court, try the sport, and join in the fun. Complimentary tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

Want to support the cause beyond attending? Donations can be made directly through this Eventbrite page. We’re also welcoming sponsors and supporters. Those interested in contributing $200 or more are encouraged to contact [email protected] to learn about special sponsor recognition opportunities.

Every ticket purchased, donation made, and sponsorship received helps support the Chanell E. Gatewood Scholarship Fund and educational opportunities for Harlem students.

We can’t wait to see you on the court!
