Pickleball Tournament - A Success!
On July 17, 2022, L1H1 held the first pickleball tournament benefiting Fostering New Memories (FNM) initiative. Everyone had a great time and we are so thankful for the 22 participating teams and the spectators cheering the teams on!
We would like to thank Chicken N Pickle & McBride Orthopedic Hospital for sponsoring the event. Also, thanks to Interurban, Neighborhood Jam, Flix Brewhouse, & Extreme Racquet Sports for donating prizes to the tournament!
And congratulations to our winners!
1st Place - We Tried
2nd Place - Delicate Dainties
Best Sportsmanship - PB & J
At the tournament, we announced the recipient of our next FNM trip! The Ratcliff family just recently finalized the adoption of #11 & #12 and will be going to Great Wolf Lodge in August to celebrate and make new memories together!
Additionally, Anna's House Foundation nominated four families and we will be sending one of the couples (currently fostering seven siblings) on a couples retreat for a much needed respite and time away to recharge!
Mini cupcakes were provided in honor of and to celebrate what would have been Lauren's 30th bday (July 10)!
