PongNEWS, a monthly eNewsletter produced by Volunteers of the PingPong.GIVES Charity Foundation - Vol.79



Greetings Ken ! 🏓👇


As we begin reflecting on 2024, we at PingPongGIVES Charity Foundation would like to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible joy this year brought us. We are thrilled to have partnered with numerous sponsors to support 12 different charity organizations.


Gratitude, for us, is the recognition and appreciation of the positive aspects of life, big or small. It’s about taking a moment to acknowledge what we have, whether it’s supportive relationships, personal achievements, or even simple pleasures like a simple game of table tennis! It can create a sense of contentment and help shift our focus from what we lack to what we cherish!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to raising awareness for mental wellness and brain health.


Your support brings us gratitude. That brings us happiness.


Enjoy this issue of PongNEWS.
