2022 Year in review

Gearing up for more grassroots

2022 was our biggest year to date with three new grassroots sites in Chicago and Connecticut, five free clinics across various cities, and over 100 donated sticks! We also wanted to highlight the weeklong summer camp held with Crestwood Intermediate last summer which reached over 65 students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Every student learned the basics and earned a free stick! Thank you to all of our donors and supporters for helping us grow the game!
