Our Fundraising Events
At Pearl River County Kids, our events are at the heart of our mission to support local children by raising funds and fostering community engagement. Here's a snapshot of our completed and upcoming events:
Kicking it for the Kids - Fall 2025
Our signature event, the "Kicking It for Kids" Annual Kickball Tournament, is more than just a day of fun—it’s a powerful way for the community to come together and support children in Pearl River County. This annual event raises critical funds while fostering awareness of the challenges children in our community face.
Kicking it For Kids - 2024
Our inaugural "Kicking It for Kids" event in 2024, held at Friendship Park in Picayune, was an incredible success, bringing the community together for a day of fun, teamwork, and generosity. The tournament featured a fantastic turnout, with enthusiastic teams competing in a spirited kickball competition and families enjoying a festive atmosphere complete with delicious offerings from local food trucks.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, we raised enough funds to make a meaningful donation to BackPack Buddies and BackPack Ministries, programs dedicated to providing essential supplies and support to children in need across Picayune and Pearl River County.
This event marked the beginning of a cherished annual tradition, highlighting the power of our community to come together and make a difference for local children. We look forward to seeing everyone again for next year’s tournament, which promises to be even bigger and better!
