PADDLES FOR POSSIBILITY

Michigan Pickleball Tournament
for Childhood-Onset HSP

Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30 | Ada Township, MI

Join families, friends, and supporters from across Michigan for a day of active fun, connection, and purpose — all in support of children living with childhood-onset hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Whether you’re an experienced competitor or this is your first tournament, this event is about so much more than the game. It’s about coming together to push research forward, strengthen our community, and bring real hope to families navigating rare, progressive neurodegenerative conditions that begin in childhood.

Together, we can fuel the research that will rewrite the future for every child living with childhood-onset HSP.

This fundraiser supports research focused on childhood-onset SPG4, the most common form of HSP. There are more than 80 types of HSP, many of them extremely rare. Advances in SPG4 research may help inform and accelerate progress across other forms of HSP. 

Sponsorship

By sponsoring Paddles for Possibility, you aren't just supporting a weekend of pickleball; you are directly fueling the race to change the trajectory of a devastating childhood rare disease. Every dollar raised directly accelerates gene therapy, biomarker discovery, and other meaningful progress for children living with Childhood-onset Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP).
