Jiminy Wicket Foundation

Play is our passion, croquet is our game. We are bringing croquet to schools and community-based programs and to other organizations that serve people living with intellectual and physical disabilities.

We create inclusion, joy and friendships through the game of croquet, for people of all ages and abilities. Jiminy Wicket® has played croquet with people from 131 countries, from 3yrs old to 103yrs old, some using walkers or wheelchairs. They all go home with a pocketful of smiles!

Since 2010, Jiminy Wicket® has run more than 500 weekly croquet sessions for the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and trained and equipped more than 2,500 school students to play croquet with the residents of senior communities in the US and the UK.

In 2023, Jiminy Wicket® branched out to train and equip high school and middle school students to play croquet with their peers who have intellectual disabilities. Our metric is s.p.h!®… smiles per hour!

Our five-year mission is to bring the game of croquet to 1,500 schools, colleges and community-based programs across the USA. This will create approximately 29,000 new croquet players of all ages and abilities and will create annual championship tournaments in 25 states. Players from those states will then compete in a national championship every four years. We are collaborating with three national organizations who have the existing infrastructure in place to make this possible.
