Hope is where this event begins. One in six couples walks through infertility, and most of them walk through it quietly.
Waiting in Hope exists so no family waits alone — community, encouragement, and real help for a hard season.
Every paddle raised on October 3 raises hope for a family still waiting.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."— Romans 12:12
A rally only works when everyone shows up.
This is a tournament and a tailgate in one: bracket play and food trucks, kids and competitors, first-timers and diehards, all on the same courts for the same reason.
Come for the pickleball. Stay for what a community can build in an afternoon.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor."— Ecclesiastes 4:9
On these courts, every serve counts twice.
Proceeds from every entry, sponsorship, and auction item go to Waiting in Hope — turning one day of games into months of support for families who need it.
Play hard. Give freely. Serve somebody you may never meet.
"Serve one another humbly in love."— Galatians 5:13
"Use whatever gift you have received to serve others."— 1 Peter 4:10
Registration closes October 1. No day-of signups.

We are the constant friend to walk beside you through this tough season. We aim to be a source of consistent help, encouragement, and a resource for all things infertility, but most importantly HOPE.
"We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you."— Psalm 33:20-22
Play, give, sponsor, or simply show up. Whichever one fits you, it ends up in the same place: with families walking through infertility and loss.

Give your time, or a thing
Merch orders close September 25. We ship to your door, or pick it up at the event. The day runs on people who show up early and stay late.
Your sponsorship puts hope within reach for families who are waiting, and puts your name in front of a community that shows up.
A day of games. A season of support for families who need it.
These businesses and families have already put their name behind the day. There is still room for yours.
