We sat down with Jane Ervin, Board Chair of The Fund to Benefit Children & Youth, and Bob Black, Event Chair of Pickleball for a Purpose and Chair of St. Luke’s Board.

The Fund has been serving the Lehigh Valley for more than 30 years, providing critical support to abused, neglected, and at-risk children — from beds and tables to utility help and enrichment programs.

In this episode we cover:

  • How The Fund fills urgent needs that government and community agencies can’t

  • Why pickleball was chosen to launch their first-ever tournament fundraiser

  • What attendees can expect on October 11 at St. Luke’s SportsPlex

  • Why 100% of donations go directly to helping kids
