Katy Perry's Firework Foundation is Helping to Give Away an Entire Pickleball Facility to One Lucky City
The biggest-selling female in Capitol Records history, one of the best-selling music artists of all time...now, Katy Perry will also be known among everyday pickleball players in one lucky US city.
The global pop superstar is also noted for her Firework Foundation in concert with sister Angela Lerche. The foundation has teamed up with The Dink and The Picklr to give away an entire pickleball facility to the city who proves they want it most.
The lack of courts is clearly one of pickleball's biggest issues. It's the key reason we've read headline after headline about wars between pickleballers and tennis players over lines on courts.
It's also the reason many towns across the country rushed to provide their citizens with courts while failing to consider proximity to neighbors and potential noise complaints.
The availability of appropriately-zoned, dedicated pickleball facilities is a mandatory benchmark the sport has to promote if it is to continue to grow...but that requires serious monetary investment.
Almost $1 billion in construction costs is needed to account for the surge in demand for courts.
Perry and her sister are pickleball fans who play regularly as a family tradition started by their mom. The star has helped promote the giveaway in a video so that the winning community can benefit from all the sport has to offer.
