Thank You for Making Hope on the Court Unforgettable

Dear Friends, Sponsors, and Hope on the Court Community,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the Hope on the Court Pickleball Tournament such an extraordinary and meaningful day. Because of you, this event was far more than a tournament—it was a celebration of connection, generosity, and purpose.

The energy on the courts, the camaraderie between points, and the incredible sportsmanship throughout the day reminded us why this community is so special. Every serve, rally, and smile helped advance awareness, research, and family support for those living with Arginase 1 Deficiency (ARG1-D).

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and partners—Immedica, Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI), NUCDF, KeyBank, Side Out Tsunami Rhona & staff, and Kristen with The Drop Pickleball Club—for believing in our mission and helping make this tournament possible.

For those that purchased or donated one of the incredible Silent Auction items – thank you! We know the high bidders will be enjoying their rewards.

A very special thank you to Gigi Guerro, our Tournament Director from Pickleball.com, whose leadership and organization kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. We truly could not have done this without you.

We also extend heartfelt thanks to Coach Greg DiMarco for helping throughout the entire day, and to the other generous coaches who donated lessons in support of our fundraiser: Devin Schmidt, Tom Grubb, Chon (Marc) Vargas, and Noah Zwiren.

To our amazing friends and family—Tanja, Tricia, Rich, Chris H., Lynne, Trevor, Laura, and Nichole—thank you for being there every step of the way. A special thanks to all our friends that came out to participate or cheer on the tournament participants. Your support behind the scenes and on the courts means more than words can express.
