Excited for some Pickleball this summer. Stay tuned for a possible Tournament at the end of the summer, but we’ll be playing on the new Bremer Center courts this summer on these four evenings. Don’t know how to play or don’t have equipment? No worries, we’ll provide it for you! These pickleball sessions are FREE and open to any youth in Hamilton county from 6th - 12th grade!

I spent the last month spending $8 on lattes and $14 on apps I forgot to cancel. ☕️💸 it’s time to bid that chaotic energy and do something that actually helps our community!

Today is Go Big Give, and I’m officially challenging you to skip one “treat yourself” moment and “treat the town” instead. Your favorite local nonprofit The Youth Center are basically the MVPs of our community not to toot our own horn!! (Toot toot) - let’s show the center some love ❤️ before my bank account realizes what’s happening. 😃

‼️‼️WHOS WITH ME‼️‼️

🕵️‍♂️ Missing Person Alert (Wait, Just Your Stuff)
Is your favorite hoodie currently living its best life in a dark bin with a stranger’s gym bag? End the tragedy today.

We’ve got a collection of orphaned water bottles, lonely left shoes, and hoodies that miss the warmth of your procrastination. If you don't claim them soon, they’re going to start a band, and honestly, they don't have the talent.

📋 The "Is This Yours?" Checklist:

The "Emotional Support" Water Bottle: It’s thirsty for attention.

That One Hoodie: You know, the one your mom asked about three times this week.

Earbuds: They’re tired of hearing nothing but the sound of silence.

The Mystery Flannel: It’s been here since the Obama administration (probably).

The Ultimatum: Claim your gear by Saturday May 9th by 10:00 PM, or it’s going to a new home (aka the donation center).

Don't let your stuff become someone else's vintage find. Swing by the Lost & Found bin today!

And... that’s a wrap! 🐣 The 2026 Easter Egg Hunt might have set a world record: it took our kids just 5 minutes to clear nearly 5,000 eggs.

A massive thank you to our incredible middle school volunteers for the hours of "egg-stuffing" and to our generous donors who made this possible. Community spirit is what makes this event a success every year!

See you all in 2027! ❤️
