Fund-raising Accomplished, but more is needed!

SOPA and SOPF have completed a major fund-raising campaign to bring a large pickleball venue to the Southern Oregon community. All permits are approved and construction is expected to begin in September 2025. This will be amazing for pickleball's growth and development in our area. Learn more about how you or your company can help us grow this dream. Visit the Foundation website here: SOPickleballFoundation.org
