Playa Racquet Club's Birthday Tournament Raises Funds for IQ70 Plus

Playa Racquet Club turned a birthday celebration into a fundraiser, running a pickleball tournament with full proceeds donated to IQ70 Plus, the Malaysian charity formally known as Persatuan Kebajikan Sayap Kasih Malaysia.

IQ70 Plus is a Petaling Jaya-based non-profit, established in 2012, providing daily care for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The club's own recap described the day plainly: "a birthday celebration, a tournament, and a full house for a good reason. The kind of day we'd repeat every year."

A Full House, Not Just a Fun Run

The event doubled as a birthday party, nicknamed "SY²" on its own cake and signage, for two of the club's own community members. Players turned out in matching pink kits for the occasion, and the club's earlier post about the same event described "how many shots we gave out" at the accompanying party, a real, well-attended crowd rather than a token gesture.

The image of a tournament player holding hands with an IQ70 Plus beneficiary, rather than just a cheque-handover photo, is the clearest evidence this was framed as direct engagement with the charity's own community, not a distanced donation drive.
