In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we created a new pickleball paddle! A portion of the proceeds from each Optimist paddle sold will go to Project Healthy Minds, a tech nonprofit that is committed to destigmatizing mental health and expanding access to resources through a free digital marketplace of mental health services.

It’s okay to go through challenges and work on your mental health, but it’s also okay to embrace and find joy and play in during life’s challenges. Seek out the bright spots.

Same design on both sides of the paddle.

All Recess Pickleball Archive items — including this one — are final sale. Recess Pickleball Archive apparel will be available for exchanges.
