===================

The Carpe Dinkum for Literacy Pickleball Tournament is a fundraiser benefiting Achieve Pinal Experience Corps, a local nonprofit and proud program partner of AARP Foundation. Our intergenerational tutoring program connects older adults with second and third-grade students in Pinal County who need extra support to become confident, capable readers. Every dollar raised from this tournament helps provide critical tutoring services, literacy resources, and program expansion to reach more students in need.

Research shows that reading fluently by the end of third grade is a powerful predictor of future academic and career success. Children who struggle with reading at this stage are four times more likely to drop out of high school, and 70% of incarcerated adults read at or below a third-grade level. Right now, only 32% of Pinal County third graders are meeting this essential literacy milestone. By supporting this tournament, you’re helping change that statistic—one student, one book, and one lesson at a time.
