Queens of the Court 2025 was a smash hit!

The ladies played their hearts out, we crowned our new Queens, enjoyed a delicious dinner, won amazing prizes, and had tons of fun — all while supporting a cause that truly matters.

Thank you to everyone who came out! 💙💚

The award celebrates our Outcomes Fund — a program that empowers people we support to pursue their goals and turn dreams into reality. But more than that, it celebrates the people themselves — their determination, vision, and the incredible progress they continue to make every day.
