Every community has heroes.

The coach, teacher, EMT, police officer, first responder, or community volunteer who selflessly makes a difference every day.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we want to celebrate the people who embody the best of our communities, both on and off the court.

That's why we're launching CORE Community Heroes. Celebrating the heroes that make our community a little bit better every day.

We're asking people across the country to nominate someone they believe is a true Hero—someone who serves others, inspires those around them, and helps out in ways that are both celebrated and under the radar.

Throughout the campaign, we'll be highlighting inspiring stories from communities across America and recognizing the everyday heroes who make America special.

Nominate Your Community Hero

One deserving nominee will receive:

• Limited Edition America 4G Premium Paddle
• Pro Tour Bag
• 250 CORE Pickleballs to Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary
• National recognition as a CORE Community Hero

But more importantly, they'll receive something that can't be purchased—the gratitude and appreciation of the community they've helped build.

If someone comes to mind while reading this, don't wait. Take a few minutes to tell us their story.

Thank you for helping us celebrate service, community, and the people who make this sport so much more than a game.

Note: We're looking for community heroes, not great pickleball players. If they're a beginner, or even someone who hasn't played yet -- nominate them, tell us their story.
