Honoring the service of our previous Board Members
Behind every nonprofit’s public face is a dedicated team of volunteers: the Board of Directors. The time, energy and vision of these individuals is the driving force in a nonprofit’s ability to achieve its mission. Nonprofit boards of directors provide essential leadership and strategic direction to an organization, as well as legal and financial oversight.
The Lake Havasu City Pickleball Association (LHCPBA) is extremely grateful to all of those that have voluntarily served, helping our organization succeed in the growth of pickleball by providing opportunities for education, competition, organized recreation, community outreach, fundraising and publicity.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
LHCPBA Story
Lake Havasu City Pickleball Association was formed in 2015 by its first President, David Rossing. The Mission of the Association is to promote the development and growth of Pickleball in the Lake Havasu City area. To that end, the Association Board of Directors were successful in partnering with the City to get the first four dedicated outdoor pickleball courts built at Dick Samp Memorial Park (DSP) in 2017. Subsequent to the opening of the four new courts, there was a three year effort to raise $100K which was achieved year end 2019 and given to the City as our shared commitment to build an additional four courts. The City was so impressed with our contribution they stepped up and added additional funding to build eight new courts (for a total of 12 to date) which were completed in May 2021. In December 2021, an Anonymous donor sent the City $250K to build the final four courts at DSP thus completing the 16 court pickleball complex as designed in the Master Plan. Expected completion of construction is December 2022.
