Viva La Pickleball: Play For Paws

Viva La Pickleball Fundraiser – Year Two 🐾

Play for Paws | April 11th | Riverview

Last year, we came together to honor Viva — our sweet black Lab who brought so much joy, loyalty, and love into our lives. What started as a tribute has grown into something even bigger: a community event that truly makes a difference for rescue animals in our area.

This year marks our Second Annual Viva La Pickleball – Play for Paws Fundraiser, and we can’t wait to do it again.

In the past year, we even adopted our newest pup, Luna, from Haven Humane — a full-circle reminder of why this event matters so much. But this event isn’t just for the dogs — it’s for all the paws. 🐶🐱

We’re excited to share that Riverview is officially joining the cause this year, helping us expand our impact even further.

Half of all proceeds will once again go directly to Haven Humane Society to help rescue dogs and cats find their forever homes.

Can’t Play But Want To Help?

Starting March 17th, Riverview will have donation drop boxes in the lobby so members and guests can contribute even if they can’t play.

We’re collecting:

• Dog Leashes
• Canned cat or dog food
• Dog treats (mini Milk Bones preferred)
• Dog toys (Benebones & Kongs Medium and Large)
• Martingale Dog Collars Size Medium and Large

Let’s make year two even bigger than the first.
Play hard. Give back. Support all the paws.
