Think Bigger Voices Season Two is here! Listen Now
Paddles, New Connections and a Great Cause!
The True North Society hosted its second annual Pickleball Social on Saturday, Aug. 22. Young professionals from across Tampa Bay came together to play pickleball, meet new people and learn more about how they can help support Think Big’s mission. From Pickleball 101 to some serious competition, there was plenty of energy, laughter and connection on the courts. A big thank you to everyone who joined us, brought a friend and helped make the morning such a success! We’re excited to keep building a community of young professionals who want to connect and give back.
