The Hub - Official Charity Partner
Make-A-Wish Australia is the NPL's Official Charity Partner. Together we run Pickleball for Wishes, an annual corporate tournament that turns a day on court into life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Official Charity Partner
Make-A-Wish Australia grants life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Every Pickleball for Wishes event, corporate team and dollar raised through the NPL goes directly towards making more of those wishes possible.

Three ways the league turns pickleball into wishes.
An annual corporate tournament where brands and agencies put teams on court to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Australia.
Teams take part through their organisation's corporate volunteering program, combining a day of competition with community impact.
NPL contributes courts, players, production and its venue network so more of every dollar raised goes to granting wishes.

In Their Words
"Pickleball For Wishes was a perfect example of what happens when community, creativity, and cause come together. We're so grateful to our partners NPL and to every team that took to the court to help make more wishes possible."
"We're thrilled to see Pickleball being used as a platform for good. This event brought together incredible energy, great competition, and a shared commitment to something bigger than the game. It's the kind of activation that shows how sport and purpose can go hand in hand."
