2006 National Collegiate Table Tennis Fundraiser

Greetings!  On behalf of the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association, I would like to take a moment to introduce you to the exciting sport of college table tennis.  The National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA) is a government-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting competitive college table tennis in the US and Canada.  NCTTA works with USA Table Tennis, the sports’ national governing body, to further progress the purpose and development of table tennis in America .

 

We are embarking on an exciting new year.  Our teams have had a successful 2005 season. We have nearly one-hundred institutions of higher education competing in college table tennis. Our participation of women’s teams increased 1.7 percent, reflecting a steady increase in interest among female athletes.  We also conducted our first national championship for women on April 1^st, 2005 .  Active participation and commitment is truly on the rise.  Another milestone in 2005 was the commencement of our first National Championship sponsored by a national corporation - Clear Channel Communications.

 

The thrill of participating in collegiate athletics is a motivating force for many high-school athletes.  NCTTA stands to meet this challenge by actively promoting one of the most opportunistic sports available to young athletes.  We strive to meet this goal by working to increase our membership, encourage a high level of competitive play, and advocate professionalism.  NCTTA works to promote both recreational and intercollegiate table tennis on college campuses.  Our goal in mind is to promote a high level of amateur competition among neighboring collegiate athletic programs.

 

Every organization requires financial stability to meet its goals, both long and short term.  Each year our board of director’s is challenged to find new and creative ways to meet these goals. This year our campaign initiative is to create our first national donations fundraiser.  We have a set a mark of $5,000 US dollars to be raised by the end of our fiscal year, May 31^st , 2006 .  These funds will be used towards, but are not limited to:

 

·        Scholarships

·        Division assistance

·        Equipment

·        Promotions

·        Team support

 

If you would like to help us reach our goal, you may submit your contribution to our treasurer’s address, or on-line at the PayPal link above.  Not only will you help strengthen a developing sport, but also your donation will be tax-deductible.  I sincerely thank you in advance for all your support.  

                                                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                  

Sincere Thanks,
