Rally for Resilience
A Day of Pickleball at the Beach for Children’s Mental Health
Sunday, 6 September 2026 9AM to dusk
Jericho Beach Pickleball Courts
PLAY. CONNECT. GIVE BACK.
Join Karmel Leor Greenfeld, Founder of Fiscal Kids, our firemen and police first responders and Vancouver’s pickleball community for the inaugural Rally for Resilience — a day of pickleball, friendship and community in support of children’s mental health.
Play as much as you like. Donate what you can. Every donation amount is welcome.
Siegel's Bagels, Breka Bakery and Starbucks have generously sponsored the morning snack. Please bring food to the community potluck, which starts at noon, and your own picnic gear (plates, napkins, cutlery, blanket, camping chair, etc.)
WHY WE'RE PLAYING
Mental health challenges often begin early in life, and suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among young people.
We believe children and families need greater access to mental health resources, early intervention and suicide-prevention programs.
That’s why 100% of the funds raised at Rally for Resilience go directly to The Kelty Foundation to support mental health programs for children, with a particular focus on suicide prevention.
Tony from Haven Wellness Collective Physiotherapy, Darcy from POKE Acupuncture, Jericho from West Coast Kinesiolgy, and Krista Massage will all be offering services by donation so bring some cash. :-)
