As GivingTuesday comes to a close, VELOZ Pickleball is proud to share our donation of 60 Fre’Bird pickleball paddles to the SamueliAcademy, Orange County’s acclaimed public charter school with no tuition fees. VELOZ Founder Mitch Junkins is a longtime board member of the Orangewood Foundation, which supports the school’s programs. What’s more. VELOZ team members will serve as pickleball instructors to their 11th graders this winter, teaching the game, social etiquette and community building techniques.
