Community can take many forms. Sometimes, it begins with something as simple as a game of pickleball.
Through a shared passion for wellness, connection, and service, Pickle & Peace has built a community where people come together not only to stay active, but also to support meaningful causes. This year, that community extended its impact by helping raise funds for individuals living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) through GFoundation’s Fight ALS Together campaign.
A Community Built Around Wellness and Purpose
Pickle & Peace began as a small group of volunteers who shared both hospice experience and a love of pickleball. What started as casual games gradually grew into a community focused on promoting physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Each gathering combines recreational pickleball with wellness experiences such as aromatherapy and tea, creating opportunities for participants to relax, connect with others, and find renewed energy.
By bringing people together through movement and meaningful conversation, Pickle & Peace demonstrates how wellness can strengthen both individuals and communities.
Supporting ALS Patients Through Community Events
Earlier this year, Pickle & Peace hosted two community fundraising events—the Men’s Social in July and the Mom & Me Event in September.
Proceeds from both events were donated to Gfoundation to support Seungil Hope Hospital in South Korea, the world’s first specialized hospital dedicated to ALS patients.
The donation contributes to Gfoundation’s Fight ALS Together campaign, a partnership with Seungil Hope Foundation that helps provide care and support for individuals and families affected by ALS.
Why Community Partnerships Matter
Community-driven partnerships help expand awareness while creating opportunities for people to support important causes in meaningful ways.
Pickle & Peace’s commitment shows that fundraising does not always begin with large events or organizations. Sometimes, it begins with neighbors gathering around a shared activity and choosing to make a difference together.
At Gfoundation, we are grateful for partners like Pickle & Peace, whose generosity demonstrates that connection, wellness, and compassion can create lasting impact for people facing serious illnesses.
Together, we can continue supporting individuals and families affected by ALS.
