The PingPong.GIVES Charity Foundation Supports 5 Charity Partners; adds 1 every other year

Every couple of years, the PingPong.GIVES Charity Foundation Board of Directors selects a qualifying non-profit organization to add as a Charity Partner.

To be considered a Charity Partner, a non-profit must align with our Foundations mission to improve mental health and brain fitness through playing Ping Pong. It must also carry out the vision to integrate Table Tennis programs into the community!

You will find a common theme with each Charity Partner that correlates with mental health issues, be it Intellectual Challenges, Depression, Dependency, Dementia, Parkinson’s, ADHD, PTSD, and Brain functionality. Playing Ping Pong for just 2 minutes will not only help brain fitness, it stimulates the 3 most important elements of Social, Mental and Physical aspects of life.

We are so fortunate to call these various Charity’s our Partners: PIN Ministry, Vanguard Landing, Alzheimer’s Hampton Roads, Parkinson’s Hampton Roads and EVMS — as they EACH are having tremendous impact in fighting for their respective causes while allowing our means to contribute in our very humble ways. So while any activity is good for the brain, playing Ping Pong, clinically validated, is ONE OF THE BEST therapeutic activities for the brain.

As beneficiaries of the Annual PingPongforCHARITY™ Events, PingPong.GIVES partnered with a variety of businesses, friends and organizations to raise money and awareness for Mental Health, Depression & Homelessness, specifically for People in Need Ministry.
The event draws hundreds of casual, amateur and “closet players”, is played on 30 KETTLER Table Tennis tables and supported with over 35 sponsors. The event is heading into its 11th year and will be bigger and better than ever! By donating to PingPong.GIVES, you help PiN Ministry!
