Welcome to the annual Foundation Paddle Classic, presented by Vulcan, Inc., a premier one-day gender doubles pickleball tournament! This exciting fundraising event guarantees a fantastic day of community competition, courtside fun, and networking—all while raising vital funds to support local education.
