A charity padel tournament, titled Padel for a Purpose, will take place on February 21, 2026, in Miami, benefiting the Brady Hunter Foundation. This nonprofit organization focuses on protecting animals, empowering children, combating food insecurity, and preserving the environment. The tournament aims to blend philanthropy with sport, creating an engaging evening centered around meaningful community contributions.
Founded by Josh Fox in memory of his dogs, Brady and Hunter, the Brady Hunter Foundation is committed to honoring their legacy through various initiatives. All funds raised during the Padel for a Purpose event will directly support the Foundation’s mission, contributing to projects that make a significant impact on animals and underserved communities.
