 Smash For Good Pickleball Challenge 2025
hosted by mookie & Brianna betts
Thank you to all players, attendees, and sponsors who joined Mookie and Brianna Betts for the first ever Smash for Good Pickleball Challenge! From celebrity showdowns to gourmet bites and nonstop good vibes, this was more than just a game-it was a mission accomplished.

We were thrilled to see celebrities team up with pro players as they battled it out on the courts while everyone enjoyed music, food, and a festive atmosphere, all in support of the 50/50 Foundation. Thank you for bringing your energy, bringing your cheers, and being part of a day that served up excitement and made a real difference!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated items to make our auction possible, and congratulations to all our auction winners on their successful bids.

About the 50/50 Foundation: Every kid can hit a home run in life. But first they need the chance to step up to the plate. Through the 50/50 Foundation, Mookie Betts is handing the bat to the next generation. We are building groundbreaking sports programs for underrepresented youth and empowering kids through physical, mental, and financial education. Additionally, we are partnering with Parker-Anderson Enrichment to provide engaging culinary and nutrition education. Together, we're forging a future where every kid knocks it out of the park.
