Support The Courts

The mission of Support The Courts is to rebuild and revitalize the Beulah courts, and keep playing, laughing, and connecting lakeside.

About Support The Courts:

Support The Courts is a community-powered grassroots movement with one shared mission: rebuild and resurface the Village of Beulah’s courts for everyone who gathers by the lake.

STC is a growing team of civic-minded neighbors, local and visiting players, and dedicated supporters committed to finishing what we started—raising the remaining funds through monthly appeals and providing regular project updates to bring durable, safe courts to our community.

  • What a powerful way to welcome 2026.

    We are genuinely in awe. Since our very first November: Season of Gratitude appeal, your generosity has unlocked multi-month matching pledges totaling $6,000, a remarkable sign of shared belief and momentum.

    Because of this steady support, $55,000 has now been raised toward rebuilding the Beulah Courts. That means we’re only $10,000 away from the $65,000 estimated to complete Phase I.

    This isn’t just about dollars matched—it’s about trust, shared pride, and a collective commitment to restore a place where connection, laughter, and community thrive.

    Every gift, every share, and every word of encouragement affirms that these courts matter only as a place to play, but as a gathering space that brings people together across generations. Thank you for carrying this vision forward with us.

    Support The Courts: Act II — Rally for the Beulah Courts

    We are implementing Phase I of the Village Park Pickleball Courts—an essential step in revitalizing a beloved community gathering place. Phase I is estimated at $65,000 and planned for July 2026.

    Phase I includes:
    • Complete removal of the existing court
    • Installation of a compacted base course
    • Compacted asphalt leveling and surface courses
    • Liquid-applied acrylic playing surface
    • New pickleball court striping
    • Installation of a new permanent pickleball net

    This project exists because neighbors and visitors care. Together, your generosity has brought us to $55K raised and within $10K of our Phase I goal, a powerful testament to community belief and shared purpose.

    With gratitude to every donor, advocate, and volunteer who has helped build this momentum together, we are so close to crossing the finish line.

  • Let’s rally together — rebuild, revitalize, and keep connecting lakeside.

Love Where You Play—Even From Afar.

Just ask Mike McClintock, a third-generation seasonal neighbor.

Mike has been coming to Beulah since childhood, following his mom and his grandparents before her, thanks to a family cottage dating back to the 1920s. Though he grew up in Oklahoma, Beulah has always felt like home--  summer days on the water, bowling and movie nights, miniature golf, and a village where everyone felt connected.

As life grew busier, visits became more seasonal, but Beulah’s spirit never faded.

Then Mike discovered pickleball. The laughter, friendly competition, and easy connections across generations brought those memories rushing back. From near and far, the courts became a place to reconnect with neighbors, visitors and a shared sense of belonging.

That’s why Mike supports Support The Courts to rebuild and resurface the Beulah Courts. And why he's helping rally support to unlock a $1,500 dollar-for-dollar matching pledge from a new seasonal family and friends of the courts. Give now, and your gift goes twice as far.

 Ways to support from where you are:

  • Credit Card

  • Venmo: @BeulahBoosters
    (Note: “Serve It Forward – Your Name”)

  • Check: Beulah Boosters (501(c)(3))
    PO Box 570, Beulah, MI 49617

Every gift, every share, every act of support helps keep Beulah’s courts and the connections they create, thriving for generations, near and far.

Founding Supporters

(2022 - October 2025)

Founding Supporters are the early believers who stepped forward when the need first emerged. Beginning in 2022, their collective generosity, culminating $40,000 in early contributions—sparked what would become Support the Courts (STC): Act II and made this community-powered movement possible. Their leadership giving created momentum, inspired broader participation, and laid the groundwork for the progress we celebrate today. We honor these supporters with deep appreciation for helping turn vision into action.

Where Play, Connection, and Community meet Gratitude

This project exists because of neighbors and visitors who care. We gratefully acknowledge the donors, advocates, and volunteers who have supported the ongoing effort to rebuild and revitalize the Beulah Courts. Their generosity and encouragement have laid the foundation for Phase 1 in 2026, with additional phases to follow as funds become available. If you are considering getting involved, we encourage you to reach out to any of the individuals listed here. Their participation reflects the fellowship, stewardship, and community spirit behind this initiative.

Thank you for being part of what makes Beulah a place to gather, play, and connect.

Thank You to Our Supporting Businesses and Nonprofit Partners.
