What started a few years ago as a group of friends just getting together to hike, run, and stay active has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined.
Early 2026, we registered HIRA as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit! Our goal has always been simple: to help our community live healthier, more active lives. Because of the incredible generosity of our donors and local sponsors, we’ve been able to keep our programs completely free—removing barriers so everyone can join in.
And we’re keeping the momentum going this weekend!
We’re hosting the HIRA Pickleball Tournament, presented by Dream Team Lending. Over 70 Nepali players of all skill levels will be competing for gold across 8 categories.
📍 Where: MatchPoint (350 McCormick Blvd, Columbus, OH 43213)
🎟️ Spectators: Totally FREE!
Whether you play or just want to catch the energy, drop by, cheer on the players, and say hi. We’d love to see you there!
A huge, heartfelt thank you to our Title Sponsor Dream Team Lending.
