This October, Float8 is proud to join forces with Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) as part of the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce’s annual Do Good Delray initiative-a month-long celebration pairing local businesses with nonprofits to strengthen our community.
On Saturday, October 18th, Henderson is hosting a Pickleball Tournament at the Delray Tennis Center-a fun, active way to raise awareness and support for their life-changing work in mental health and substance use services.
Why Henderson Behavioral Health + Float8?
Since 1953, Henderson has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in South Florida, providing crisis response, outpatient treatment, residential support, youth and family services, and veteran programs-serving over 30,000 individuals each year. Their mission: empowering healthier lives through accessible, high-quality, trauma-informed care.
At Float8, we see ourselves as part of that mission. Floating offers those living with mental health challenges a safe, calm environment where they can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and support their overall wellbeing. Together, Henderson and Float8 stand united in providing people with the resources, environments, and practices to build healthier, more resilient lives.
Why Pickleball?
Because pickleball brings people together. It’s social, energizing, and easy to play-just like the conversations Henderson sparks about mental health: open, supportive, and for everyone.
It’s also the perfect fit for Float8’s athletic side. Many competitive athletes use floating as a way to improve visualization, enhance focus, and speed recovery after pushing their limits on the court or field. Pairing a community pickleball tournament with Float8’s recovery and performance benefits is a natural match-helping players feel better, perform better, and bounce back faster.
Join us at the Delray Tennis Center for a day filled with competition, camaraderie, and community impact. Whether you’re playing or cheering from the sidelines, your presence supports the vital services Henderson provides to our neighbors in need.
Ticket options include tournament registration, spectator passes, and even a 2-hour beginner pickleball clinic-so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
