EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and ONIX Pickleball is donating $10,000 to IWIN (Indiana Women in Need Foundation) to increase awareness of this disease and aid families impacted by breast cancer. The goal is to get as many people as possible involved in raising awareness and funds to help women and men in need of assistance. Our Paddle with a Purpose campaign features a complete pink line of pickleball products, including the top-selling Evoke Premier paddle, bags, paddle cover, and wristband supporting this cause.
"One in eight women are affected by this disease, and we are ecstatic to help make a difference in our community by donating proceeds to IWIN Foundation," says Raquel Langhaim, Onix Marketing Director. "We want to show up for our community. Players can feel good about buying their next paddle knowing we are giving back to this important cause."
The IWIN Foundation supports individuals statewide currently receiving treatment for breast cancer by securing and paying for individual services that relieve emotional, physical, and financial burdens. Their vision is to be an innovative nonprofit organization, built on passion, dedication, and integrity, where communities feel called to support their mission.
"This donation will make an enormous impact on dozens of Hoosiers struggling to afford basic needs, like transportation, meals and childcare, during breast cancer treatment. ONIX is a community leader," says Debbie Laswell, Program Director of IWIN.
