Our Story

Chris and Katie Yurko have spent over five years around pickleball, inspired by the sport’s power to bring people together. When a close family member in his thirties faced a shocking cancer diagnosis, the financial strain on his family of six was overwhelming. Fire Pickleball was born from that moment — turning the game we love into a way to spark hope and provide grants that help families focus on healing, not hospital bills.

How we help

Host Events – Pickleball tournaments that bring our community together for a cause.


Fund Grants – The Spark Grant provides up to $15,000 each year to families fighting cancer.


Support Families – Relieving medical bills so families can focus on healing, not costs.
