Paradise Promotional Products (asi/526754) in Mount Pleasant, SC, has announced a new partnership with the Special Olympics in its home state in order to foster an inclusive environment for athletes of all abilities.

From March 22 through April 30, 2024, the distributor will donate a portion of its profits to Special Olympics pickleball athletes in SC Area 6, which welcomes players from Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston Counties. The company will also leverage its network and resources to raise awareness and amplify the impact of Special Olympics in the Palmetto State.

Pickleball, a fast-growing sport, is known for its accessibility and adaptability for players of varying skill levels. According to Paradise Promotional Products, this partnership promotes physical fitness, social interaction and the development of essential life skills. Special Olympics South Carolina hosted its first State Pickleball Championship on March 16 just outside Columbia, SC.

“We’re excited to join hands with Special Olympics SC Area 6 Pickleball in their mission to empower athletes and promote the values of inclusion and diversity,” said Rich Corvalan, president of Paradise Promotional Products. “We believe in the power of sports to unite communities and inspire individuals, and pickleball perfectly embodies these ideals.”
