Paddles for a Purpose Pickleball Tournament
August 29, 2026 at 9:00am, Courts of McKinney
All tournament proceeds benefit The Samaritan Inn, a comprehensive housing program serving unhoused individuals and families in North Texas — 165 people (including 55+ children) call The Samaritan Inn home on any given night. Founded in 1984 as a 10-bed shelter, we now serve up to 226 residents, one-third of whom are children. Our youth attend summer camps through our partnership with McKinney Courts camp and Impact Activities. This opportunity allows adults and youth alike to join in and we’re excited that every match raises support while offering donors a fun way to give back through a game they enjoy!
