RAP: Recovery And Pickleball (RAP) is a charity tournament benefiting substance abuse patients.

*There have been too many young victims of opioid overdose, abuse and death (fentanyl, herion and other opioids).

*These deaths are tragic.

*Overdose survivors, almost always, can't afford good Detox and Rehab treatment, even if they want to stop using.

*This RAP event is using pickleball to help raise money to send uninsured overdose victims for comprehensive addiction treatment.

*100% of the proceeds will go towards helping patients with addiction treatment.

*Please help us fight this killer of our young people.

*Please help us with RAP!!
