Founders Note

From the very beginning, Pineapple Paddles has been about more than pickleball. It’s been about community, connection, and creating something that brings people together. That’s why this partnership with Autism Speaks means so much to me personally and to our entire team.

Autism touches millions of families, each with their own story, their own challenges, and their own incredible strengths. When the opportunity arose to collaborate on a paddle that not only raises awareness but also contributes directly to meaningful support and resources, it felt like the perfect extension of what Pineapple Paddles stands for.

Our Autism Awareness Paddle is more than a product. It’s a symbol of inclusion, understanding, and the belief that every individual deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. The design reflects that spirit—bold, bright, and full of heart.

A portion of every paddle sold goes directly to Autism Speaks, helping fuel research, advocacy, and programs that make a real difference in the lives of individuals with autism and their families. Knowing that our community can play a role in that impact is something I’m incredibly proud of.

To everyone who chooses this paddle: THANK YOU! Thank you for supporting a mission that matters. Thank you for helping us spread awareness with every serve, every rally, and every moment on the court.

Together, we’re playing for something bigger.

— Bronson, Founder of Pineapple Paddles
