Katy Perry proved she’s a “dark horse” on the pickleball court, showing off some serious skills at the 3rd annual Light Up the Court charity event. She faced off against her sister, Angela Lerche, in an exhibition match to raise money for their Firework Foundation. The sisters — who’ve made pickleball a family tradition — each teamed up with pro players. Perry paired with Connor Garnett, while Lerche played alongside Wes Borrows. The match stayed close, but Perry and Garnett pulled out an 11–8 win. Afterward, both teams posed together, keeping the rivalry friendly. Proceeds from the event support the Firework Foundation, which Perry and Lerche co?founded to empower kids from underserved communities through arts programs, mentorship, and Camp Firework — an arts?and?outdoors experience that recently expanded to include high school students exploring film, fashion, music, and culinary careers. Lerche said seeing the community rally around young people was “electric,” adding that investing in the next generation is the foundation’s mission.
