Thanks For Giving Food Drive

05/27/2026

It was a beautiful, bright, and sunny day for our 3rd Annual Pickleball2Help Tournament held on May 16, 2026, benefiting The Nick Felisko Memorial Scholarship.
The courts at Eisenhower Park were filled with amazing pickleball players, uplifting energy, and a strong sense of community. More importantly, the day brought people together in support of a cause that is deeply meaningful and close to our hearts. Laughter, sportsmanship, and generosity were felt throughout the event, making it a truly memorable and special day for all involved.
Sherry Felisko and the entire Felisko family are extremely grateful to Prepared2Help, Troop 701 & 711 of Milford, our incredible pickleball players, dedicated volunteers, and the many generous donors whose kindness and support made this event possible.
Because of each and every person who participated, volunteered, donated, or helped behind the scenes, we are able to continue honoring Nick’s legacy and provide scholarship opportunities to deserving students within the Milford community. Your generosity and compassion remind us that when people come together with caring hearts and a shared purpose, extraordinary things can happen.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping keep Nick’s memory alive and for making such a meaningful difference.

Thank You to everyone for Supporting Our 1st Community Happy Hour
Prepared 2 Help would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for our 1st Community Happy Hour held on May 13, 2026, at SBC Milford.
What began as an evening to bring our community together became something truly special—a celebration of compassion, generosity, and the power of people coming together to make a meaningful difference.
Because of the incredible support of our guests, donors, volunteers, community partners, and supporters, the event was a tremendous success. Your generosity and enthusiasm helped raise awareness and funds to support Prepared 2 Help’s Scholarship Funds and The Thanks for Giving Food Drive, allowing us to continue supporting local food banks, shelters, and educational opportunities throughout the Milford community.
The evening was filled with connection, laughter, and a shared commitment to helping others. From the complimentary hors d’oeuvres and exciting raffle baskets to the overwhelming community spirit, every moment reflected the mission and heart of Prepared 2 Help.
We would also like to offer special congratulations and appreciation to Mark Krom on receiving his well-deserved award – The Community Champion Award. Mark’s dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to giving back embody the very spirit of community service and compassion that we strive to celebrate and inspire. We are grateful for all he does to make our community stronger.
The momentum and support generated from Community Happy Hour also continue to strengthen events and causes close to our hearts, including our support of the 3rd Annual Pickleball2Help Tournament benefiting The Nick Felisko Memorial Scholarship. Together, these efforts help us honor meaningful legacies while creating opportunities for local students to pursue their educational dreams.
Prepared 2 Help is profoundly grateful to every person who attended, donated, volunteered, shared the event, and supported our mission. Your kindness reminds us that when a community comes together with caring hearts and a common purpose, we can create lasting change.
From all of us at Prepared 2 Help—thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our community, and helping us continue to make a difference. With sincere gratitude, Prepared 2 Help
