Pickleball Palooza raises funds for You+Co youth development program

BALL, La. (WNTZ) – Fostering Community is set to host its first-ever Pickleball Palooza tournament on March 22 at the Ward 10 Complex in Ball, with proceeds benefiting its youth development program, YOU+CO.

The organization is seeking corporate sponsors to help make the fundraiser a success. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and interested businesses can access the sponsorship information form and event flyer through Fostering Community.

The YOU+CO program is dedicated to empowering youth impacted by foster care by providing support, resources, and guidance. It offers a welcoming and supportive environment where teens and young adults can feel safe, valued, and connected. The program provides life skills education, personal growth opportunities, and case management services to help youth establish continuous, concrete support.

All funds raised from the Pickleball Palooza Tournament will directly support YOU+CO, ensuring that every dollar stays in Central Louisiana to aid children and youth affected by foster care.

The sponsorship deadline has been extended to March 7. For more information about sponsorship opportunities, visit www.fosteringcommunity.org.
