Mookie Betts and the 50/50 Foundation's successful pickleball challenge

Mookie Betts' 50/50 Foundation's Pickleball Challenge met with a good turnout as several joined the campaign for a noble cause. The proceeds from the event will help support the foundation’s mission of empowering underrepresented youth with sports programs and education in financial, physical, mental and nutritional wellness.

Betts also fulfilled his passion for pickleball. In July at Truist Park, he said:

"Pickleball, that's my jam. I love playing pickleball. I just go to random parks and just play random people. I love the hang. You get to talk to people and get to meet people. A lot of people have fire in them, especially in pickleball. They get really mad, which I love."

Apart from that, Mookie Betts' foundation also launched an auction in 2025, inviting bids on curated items to benefit the foundation’s upcoming programs.

Meanwhile, on the field, he is hitting .247 along with 14 home runs and eight stolen bases.
