Help Spartans TTC Get Through Covid-19 Lockdown

Hi, my name is Tao Wenzhang. I am one of the National Development Coaches for USA Table Tennis, a former U.S. Open champion, and the owner of Spartans Table Tennis Club located in Santa Clara, California. We are a professional table tennis training center with a mission to discover and bring up talented table tennis players in the U.S., while helping to promote and  popularize the sport in the country. We have close to 30 formal students, with a U.S. Olympian for Tokyo 2020 and a total of 5 national team members in our team. Complete list of our students: www.spartansttc.com/students 

After months of planning, we made an exciting, big move from our previous location to a much larger facility in Santa Clara this March. Unfortunately, out of what we anticipated, due to the coronavirus lockdown and our sense of civic duty, we were forced to temporarily close our club. Santa Clara is one of the virus hotspots, and we are not sure when the lockdown will end. We are saddened by this decision but we understand that this is for everyone's health and safety.

Our move to this bigger facility comes with a much higher monthly fixed cost. We were motivated and ready to build up our new club, offering high quality training programs and tournament events for the public, but we were hit with the lockdown before we could officially start operating. We are now worried about covering our basic expenses.

I sincerely and humbly request your donation to help us get through this tough period. Your donation and support will help us focus on enriching our service offerings to the table tennis community while also helping our formal students come back mentally and physically stronger after this lockdown.

While we appreciate your donation and support, we understand that this is a difficult time for all of us and there are many who are in similar positions as ourselves. We kindly ask that you offer assistance only if you are in a stable position to do so. Thank you.
