Move with purpose

Pickleball registration cost is $75/player

Our goal for everyone is to move with purpose—with the purpose being to raise funds for MS, I’mpossible. In addition to your registration fee, we encourage you to give what you can and/or gather donations.

Make every dink, rally, or lob matter by letting everyone you know that you are moving with purpose in support of MS, I’mpossible. Any donation amount can help improve the resources and funding for young adults living with Multiple Sclerosis. So, remember to set up your fundraising page here. You can either have your supporters pledge you a flat amount or pledge by the number of minutes you intend to move with purpose. A minimum donation of $25 is encouraged.

When you are finished with your day of moving with purpose, please enter the number of minutes you spent for each activity into your personal MS, I’mpossible Pickle Palooza Fundraising Page.

100% of the proceeds go to MS, I’mpossible.

Maximize Your Impact

Remember to check if your employer offers a company donation match—it’s an easy way to double your contribution! MS, I’mpossible is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Receipts will be provided upon request.
