    Breakthrough Miami’s Pickleball Social Aces the Day! 🎾 Today on #WorldPickleballDay, we're throwing it back to our 2024 Pickleball Social for yielding a net gain for FUN and "friendraising", all thanks to our Village! Through our collective engagement, we made a meaningful impact, generating funds to support 5️⃣ Scholars through a year of Breakthrough programming! The event was a perfect blend of FUN, STYLE, and community SPIRIT, introducing more than 100 new families to Breakthrough Miami. From novices to pros, we leveled up our game with instructor Stéphane Jolicoeur. Off the court, connections were made over savory bites, fresh juices, and unique pop-ups. 🛍️ A special thanks to the Freeland family for graciously opening their home to host this event again. Your generosity and warm hospitality set the perfect stage for this unforgettable day. 💙 We look forward to staying connected during the year and sharing the incredible impact your contributions are making.💡 Read the full event story at: https://lnkd.in/eiaEA2TT ⬅️ ROKNE Pickleball GamePlan Skincare, Inc.
