About Us
How It All Started
Playing Ping Pong has always been a part of life for Ken Lees. His dad Larry, had him on a table in the garage at all hours since Ken was about 5 years old.
And today, this game has turned into the creation of a 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Foundation, an Annual PingPongforCHARITY Celebrity Events & Recreation Tournament — endorsed by partner USA Table Tennis Association.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve Mental Wellness and Brain Fitness by playing Ping Pong!
Our Motto: Cross-Train Your Brain. Play Ping-Pong.
Our GOAL is to Utilize the Brain-Stimulating Sport of Table Tennis to Raise Awareness & Money for our Charity Partners focused on Mental Health Issues like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Depression, Intellectual Challenges and more...
The Health Benefits
Interestingly, there is much attention revealing how the sport of Table Tennis is ONE OF THE BEST THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITIES for The Brain!
Table Tennis happens to be the world’s best brain sport and is a better aerobic exercise than you might imagine; it gives your brain one heck of a workout.
A fascinating brain imaging study from Japan found that just 10 minutes of table tennis increases activity in the prefrontal cortex
