Giving Back With Every Serve

PLAY It Forward Program

What it means to PLAY It Forward…

At Pickle & Taps, we believe in the power of community and the spirit of giving back. That’s why we’ve launched our “PLAY It Forward” charity program. We hope to show the local Wilmington community how much you mean to us.

We’re committed to transparency, which is why we will track the growth of our donations throughout the year and publish updates on our website, so you can see exactly how your support is making a difference.

Together, we can make a significant impact. Whether through playing pickleball at P&T, attending one of our PLAY It Forward events, purchasing our merchandise, or simply spreading the word, every action helps us to give back to our community. Stay tuned for more ways to get involved and see how your love for pickleball can transform lives.

How We Give Back

Affordable Access for Charities

We offer reduced court rental rates for local charities, making it easier for them to host tournaments and community events at our facilities.

Summer Camp Scholarships

We sponsor summer camp tuition for underprivileged juniors, giving them the chance to learn, play, and grow through pickleball.

Adaptive Pickleball

Our program supports special needs community members, both adults and juniors, by providing adaptive pickleball sessions tailored to their abilities.

Local Charity Support

Throughout the year, we make direct donations to other local North Carolina charities, amplifying our impact in the community.

Merch and Swag (for a great cause)

Pints & Silipints

Purchase our exclusive Pickle & Taps Charity Silipint. Not only do you elevate your drink experience, but a portion of the proceeds helps fund our PLAY It Forward initiatives and reduces plastic waste.

Tees, Hats, and Other Swag

Our range of t-shirts and other merchandise are more than just apparel; they’re a way to support our community. Sales are tracked through a special menu item in our POS system, ensuring transparency in how your purchases contribute to our charitable efforts.
