Community Support and Personal Impact
Tanya Vital-Vasile, a passionate advocate and mother of a child who has benefited from Shriners’ services, shared her heartfelt connection to the cause.
“Shriners has helped many kids, and I can only talk out of my experience, but they have helped coordinate all the surgeries, doctors appointments, therapy, everything for my son since he was born and he is five now. He had his first surgery before he was one, so it’s been amazing and they haven’t taken a penny from us, so it’s all based off donations which is why we are really pushing this.” – (Tanya Vital-Vasile)

The pickleball tournament was not just about competition; it was a celebration of community spirit and generosity. With each game played, participants felt the impact of their efforts in supporting a vital cause.
