Our goal is to raise $50,000 to activate Phase 1 and 2 of this initiative by January 15, 2021. Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

DID YOU KNOW that the simple act of playing ping pong actually triggers neurological pathways throughout the entire body, training eye-hand coordination and accessing virtually every muscle in the body. The speed, ball projection, and spins result to sharpened mental acuity due to hormonal boost and slowed rate of aging in the brain. The lightning-fast decisions help prevent cognitive decline associated with aging.

There has been growing evidence about ping pong being used as physical therapy to treat and slow down the progression of brain diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

We are faced with an aging population with millions of people are suffering from degenerative brain diseases. There’s compelling evidence that specific exercises are essential for active aging and alleviating symptoms associated with brain decline. Our objective is to do more to educate people about the importance of a regular exercise program for their brain health, with ping pong as an activator.

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING: PING PONG IS THE WORLD’ S BEST BRAIN GAME

In May, 2020, the American Academy of Neurology published a study with promising results — it found that people with Parkinson’s who played ping pong showed improvement in their symptoms.
“The clear increase in motor skills and cognitive awareness from playing table tennis is significant, if not remarkable, in its unique benefit for brain disease patients." - Alzheimer's Weekly
"Ping Pong is the world’s best brain game. Why? You got to get your eyes, your hand and your feet, all to work together while you think about the spin of the ball. Think of it like aerobic chess.” - Dr. Daniel Amen
