Padel for a Purpose Returns to the Hamptons: Where Sport, Style, and Philanthropy Share the Court

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Bridgehampton becomes the backdrop for the season’s most purpose-driven afternoon — a Pro-Am padel tournament and poolside celebration benefiting The Brady Hunter Foundation.

Giving back takes center court this summer as Padel for a Purpose returns to the Hamptons in support of The Brady Hunter Foundation — a nonprofit devoted to protecting animals, empowering children, combating food insecurity, and preserving the environment. As the Foundation’s signature fundraising event, Padel for a Purpose unites philanthropy, sport, and community for a day where purpose drives every point played.

Founded by Josh Fox in memory of his beloved dogs, Brady and Hunter, The Brady Hunter Foundation honors their legacy through compassion, action, and meaningful impact. Every dollar raised flows directly to the Foundation’s mission, funding initiatives that create lasting change for animals, children, and underserved communities.

The afternoon promises an unforgettable blend of competition and celebration: high-energy matches that pair top professional players with local padel enthusiasts in a singular Pro-Am format, set against live DJs, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional cuisine, interactive activations, and the kind of effortless Hamptons glamour that defines a Haute Living summer. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or stepping onto the court for the first time, the tournament is designed to be inclusive, exhilarating, and deeply rewarding. No prior experience required — just bring your energy and your heart.

Supporting Meaningful Change

Funds raised through the 2026 event will support one of the Foundation’s most transformative initiatives to date.

The Brady Hunter Sanctuary

A first-of-its-kind sanctuary offering a forever home for harder-to-adopt dogs, as well as the abused and neglected farm animals that have spent years overlooked. The sanctuary will give these animals the chance to live out their lives with dignity, safety, compassion, and peace.

The Setting: Bridgehampton

This year’s Padel for a Purpose unfolds at an exclusive private residence in Bridgehampton — a one-of-a-kind estate with stunning views and a beautiful pool that captures the spirit of the Hamptons. It is the rare setting where world-class sport and a relaxed poolside afternoon feel entirely at home together.
