At Padel4Good, we believe in using sport as a force for good, and October’s men’s tournament was a great example of this! We’re proud to share that we donated R5000 raised from the event to the Breast Health Foundation in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Who is the Breast Health Foundation?

The Breast Health Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established in 2002, dedicated to educating the public on breast cancer and breast health. Their mission is to increase awareness, promote early detection, and empower women with knowledge and support. Since its founding, the Breast Health Foundation has become a trusted and transparent organization that reaches thousands of women across South Africa.

Their work is focused on breaking down myths surrounding breast cancer, providing a safe space for women to openly discuss their health concerns, and encouraging early detection through self-examinations and regular medical check-ups. By educating women, especially in African communities where they are traditionally seen as the heart of the family, the Breast Health Foundation helps ensure that breast health awareness spreads to children, partners, and the wider community.

Their Mission and Purpose

The Breast Health Foundation exists not for income, but for outcome. Their key goals are to:

• Increase awareness of breast health
• Promote education and access to treatment
• Provide emotional and informative support for women
• Ensure equal access to healthcare resources
• Create an open, supportive environment for women to share their concerns

Through their efforts, BHF helps women recognize the importance of early detection, which can be life-saving. They work to ensure that every woman feels empowered to take control of her health.

How the Padel4Good Donation Will Help

The R5000 donated from our October tournament will be used to create care packs for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. These care packs will be distributed during their first chemotherapy session, offering not only practical support but also a message of comfort and solidarity during a challenging time. This small gesture will show patients that they are not alone, and that they have a community standing behind them.

A Cause Close to Our Hearts

We are truly honored to have supported such a vital cause this month. The Breast Health Foundation continues to make a powerful impact in the fight against breast cancer, and it’s thanks to organizations like them that many women receive the education, resources, and emotional support they need.

Together, we can continue to make a difference—one tournament at a time!
