We’re officially past the halfway point in our mission to raise $200,000 for the construction of four outdoor pickleball courts at the Williamsburg Rec Center. Once completed, these courts will offer a vibrant space for pickleball players from across Iowa County—and beyond—to come together and enjoy the fastest-growing sport in America.
A heartfelt thank-you to Laura Sauser, Community Director for Iowa County, for her guidance throughout the grant writing process. And a special shoutout to Mary Wetjen, who spoke with such passion and clarity about our vision to bring this energizing sport to Williamsburg.
Our calendar is quickly filling with exciting fundraising events as we continue our journey toward our goal. Congratulations to all the volunteers and community members who are stepping up to make Iowa County a better place to live and play.
And finally, thank you to the Iowa County Community Development Foundation for your generous support and belief in our project.
Have a great day!
