    Description

    Serve Up a Cure - Pickleball Volunteer for "Do What You Love to End ALZ"

    Are you passionate about pickleball and ready to make a difference? Join the Alzheimer’s Association as a Pickleball Volunteer Leader for Do What You Love to End ALZ(tm), our signature fundraising campaign that turns passions into purpose.

    We’re looking for energetic, well-connected pickleball enthusiasts to recruit and coach fellow players to start fundraising teams and rally their communities in support of Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

    Whether you’re a player, organizer, or just love the game, this is your chance to lead with purpose and grow the movement through the sport you love.

    Your Role Will Include:

    • Recruiting pickleball players, clubs, and communities to start fundraisers
    • Coaching participants on how to set up and promote their events
    • Hosting recruitment events and round robins to engage new fundraisers
    • Connecting with local businesses (e.g., paddle companies, courts, leagues) for sponsorships and partnerships
    • Tabling at tournaments, giving presentations, and attending community events
    • Writing thank-you notes, sending follow-ups, and celebrating milestones
    • Representing the Alzheimer’s Association mission with energy and heart

    We’ll provide all the training and tools you need to succeed-you bring the passion, connections, and love for the game.

    Let’s rally the pickleball community to end Alzheimer’s.

    Contact your local staff partner, Kirsten Guanella, at knguanella@alz.org, or visit alz.org/dowhatyoulove to learn more and get involved.
