Let's get right to the most important detail of this event, the donation link: https://www.eifoundation.org/epl-paddle-with-a-purpose
Event Producer Ziad Batal (top right) tells me he chose EIF's Socal Fire Fund to collect the donations and split them down the middle to the two organizations that are assisting with the recent LA fires (Defy and the Cal Fire Fund).
Ziad says he organizes a bimonthly pickelball league between teams from industry powerhouses such as Google, Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Fox, Apple, Roku, TikTok, Snapchat and top agencies as well. This "Entertainment Pickleball League" has been in motion since 2020, so Ziad decided to pivot the event into a fundraiser for fire victims. Ziad, a Palisades resident, has also been deeply affected by the fires. Comedian Wayne Brady and former NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens were some the celebrities on the courts for this event, as well as members of affected families.
Thank you for your donations. And please, stay out of the kitchen when smashing.
