Our Foundation:
The Croquet Foundation of America was established in 1979 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational and charitable organization to promote and develop the sport of Croquet in America through programs and activities that benefit the individual and society.
Croquet is a sport that can be played by people of all ages. It is especially attractive to seniors as a healthful sport requiring the continuing development of dexterity and strategic thinking combined with low-impact exercise for fitness and health, which is further enhanced by the social interactions involved.
Our Mission Statement:
Our mission is to develop and promote the amateur sport of croquet in America, with a strong emphasis on using our facilities for charitable and educational croquet programs that benefit individuals, our community and society in general.
