Ping Pong A Thon
TTV is strongly promoting the annual Pingpongathon which will be held in October this year. Using table tennis and a peer-to-peer fundraising model, table tennis clubs are invited to run (from 3 hours to 24 hours in length) as part of the upcoming 2018 Pong campaign (taking place throughout the month of October). The Pong Team provide local event organisers with everything needed to plan, promote and oversee the event, (including print promo material, online fundraising platform and a step by step guide to planning and running the event). So spread the word around and gather your friends, family, neighbours and anybody else you could think of to support this important fundraising event!!
