Pickleball for a Purpose Benefiting Foster Together MN

Date and Time: Friday, October 2nd | 5:30–9:30 PM

Location: Chips Pickleball | Eagan, MN

About the Event (Must be 18+) – Tickets available soon

Get ready for one of the most energetic evenings of the year — Pickleball for a Purpose is back, and it's bigger than ever. Whether you're a competitive player ready to battle it out on the court or someone who just wants to show up, cheer loud, and have a great time, there's something here for you.

Every ticket sold and every dollar raised goes directly toward Foster Together MN — a nonprofit walking alongside foster, kinship, and adoptive families in our community so they never have to do it alone.

Your Impact

Our goal is to raise $20,000 — and with your help, we can get there.

This funding directly supports families in foster, kinship, and adoptive care across the Twin Cities and beyond. It keeps our resource center, Abundant Goods, stocked with essential items for youth in care. It funds community gatherings where families find belonging. It allows us to sustain and grow so that more families receive the relational and tangible support they deserve.

Twenty thousand dollars means more families feel seen, equipped, and less alone. That's what a Friday night can do.
