Eye on the Ball – Play for a Clearer Future

This March, one day on the court can transform our kids’ futures.

On March 28 at Chicken N Pickle, Eye Thrive is bringing together players, supporters, and champions for kids’ vision at Eye on the Ball, a pickleball fundraiser where fun, connection, and impact collide. Whether you’re a competitive player or just love the social energy of the game, this is your moment to grab a partner, enjoy great food and drinks, and open doors to critical vision care for our kids who need it most.

• Because when our kids can see clearly, everything changes.
• They raise their hands in class.
• They run faster, play harder, and participate with confidence.
• They show up ready to learn, and ready to thrive.
• Every serve, rally, and point played at Eye on the Ball helps make that possible.

Why It Matters

Proceeds from Eye on the Ball directly support Eye Thrive’s work to provide high-quality, wraparound vision care at absolutely no cost to our kids who otherwise may go without. The need is urgent, and growing. Your participation helps us reach more kids, remove barriers to care, and transform futures through clear vision.

• This isn’t only a fun day out.
• It’s access.
• It’s confidence.
• It’s opportunity.
• So grab your paddle, rally your partner, and join us on the court. Spots are limited. Impact is not. Let’s keep our eye on the ball, and our hearts focused on our kids who need us most.
