Subject: Help Me Open the Door to Great Futures

Hi friend,

I’m excited to share that I’m participating in The Club Kids Classic, a new pickleball fundraising series benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Boys & Girls Clubs provide kids and teens with something every young person deserves: a safe place to learn and grow, caring adults who believe in them, and opportunities to build the skills and confidence they need for a great future.

Today, Boys & Girls Clubs serve more than 4.2 million young people annually through nearly 5,500+ Clubs across the country. And the impact is real: 97% of Club members expect to graduate high school.

I’m raising $2,500 to help support this important mission, and I’d love for you to join me. Would you consider making a gift to help me reach my goal?

Together, we can help open the door to great futures for Club kids. Thanks so much for your support!
