Onix Pickleball Donates $10,000 to Indiana Women in Need Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness
The Brand Builds on a Five-Year Legacy Of Community Support and Non-Profit Collaboration
EVANSVILLE, Ind. [Oct 1, 2025] — ONIX Pickleball, an industry leader for over two decades, commits its fifth annual donation of $10,000 to the Indiana Women in Need (IWIN) Foundation. This ongoing support reflects ONIX’s ongoing commitment to raising awareness and providing resources to breast cancer survivors, while supporting the local Indiana community it serves.
Each year, ONIX Pickleball champions the Paddle with a Purpose campaign, featuring exclusive pink colorways to standout products like the Evoke Premier Raw Carbon paddle, bags, paddle covers, wristbands, and the newly introduced water bottle. Proceeds from these items directly support IWIN’s mission to provide emotional, physical and financial relief to Hoosiers undergoing breast cancer treatment.
“We are deeply committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and play,” said Emily Patton, Brand Manager at ONIX Pickleball. “Our hope is that this initiative encourages everyone to support those affected by breast cancer. Creating a strong, caring community means showing up for one another all year long.”
Since 2000, the IWIN Foundation has been a lifeline for Indiana residents undergoing breast cancer treatment, providing personalized support like transportation, childcare, meal delivery and home care to help patients focus on healing. Serving 800 to 900 individuals annually, IWIN tailors aid packages to address each patient’s urgent needs, reducing barriers that might otherwise prevent treatment completion. Funded through community events, donors and partnerships, the foundation strives to be a compassionate neighbor, easing the emotional, physical and financial burdens faced by Hoosiers battling breast cancer statewide.
“The generosity of ONIX Pickleball and Escalade Sports empowers our Foundation to be the ‘neighbor next door’ to more than 8,000 individuals annually,” said Erin DeJong, Executive Director of the IWIN Foundation. “Contributions like these are critical to sustaining the individualized support that makes a tangible difference in so many lives.”
