The Play For Life Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to improve the health and lives of youth, veterans and first responders, recently sponsored Suncoast Remake Learning Days, a 15-day regional learning festival, and gifted 12 pickleball starter bags to local families in attendance. With the support of The Patterson Foundation, Suncoast Remake Learning Days offers over 280 free events that take place across Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties. The activities are designed for youth of all ages, along with their families, caregivers and educators. In 2023, the collective effort for the event resulted in over 25,000 individuals attending more than 200 events across four counties in 10 days. On Sunday, April 28 from 1 to 2:30 p.m., families were invited to The Pickleball Club at Lakewood Ranch as part of Suncoast Remake Learning Days. During the event, volunteers of The Pickleball Club and instructional team facilitated an introduction to pickleball lesson, along with open play. Every family in attendance received a pickleball starter bag, which included paddles and balls. Over 30 individuals attended the event. The club had several member volunteers, including Joe McMahon, Ethan Eddy, Joe Gennocro and Nathan Westover, as well as Play For Life Foundation volunteer Jennifer Kahler. Dallas Burko and Glory Bowman, staff members of The Pickleball Club, were also in attendance. To support The Play For Life Foundation’s mission of introducing the sport of pickleball to youth, veterans and first responders, The Play for Life Foundation began donating Club-N-Boxes in 2022 to qualified organizations, including schools, fire and rescue departments, police departments, youth organizations and nonprofits. Similar to the pickleball starter bags, the  Club-N-Boxes contain nets, paddles, balls and instructional material on how to play and set up a court.  To date, the foundation has donated 123 boxes to various organizations, including James Tillman Elementary School in Manatee County, the Bradenton Police Department, 10 East Manatee Fire Rescue Stations, Bay Haven School of Basics Plus, Girls Inc. of Sarasota and multiple branches of the Boys and Girls Clubs in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
