Family Day at the Courts
March 7, 2026 | 10:30 AM – 12:30 PMCollins Park Community Center & Courts
Families are invited to join us for Family Day at the Courts, a special Stepping Stones gathering designed for families grieving the death of someone important. This event is a chance to connect with other peer families, enjoy time together, and explore healthy coping through movement in a supportive and welcoming environment.
While the Hustle for Hope pickleball tournament will be taking place on nearby courts, this event is not tournament play. Family Day at the Courts is a separate, private experience created specifically for the families we serve.
Together, we will share a meal, learn the basics of pickleball, and engage in movement as a healthy way to support grief and connection. A pickleball coach will be on-site to teach the game to beginners, and designated courts will be available for families who are already familiar with pickleball and would like to play together.
This event is open to families who have registered through Stepping Stones and are looking for a meaningful way to connect, move, and support one another through grief.
