UWO Table Tennis Trip

The Western Mustangs Varsity Table Tennis team is one of the strongest teams in the National Table Tennis Collegiate. Last year, we placed 4th overall in North America at the National Championship. This year the Mustangs placed 1st in Womens teams at the regional tournament. With the regional singles champion Rongge Zhang and runner up Spencer Zhu among other talented players on the roster, the Mustangs are bound to make an even bigger mark on Collegiate Table Tennis. This year, the National Championship is held in Round Rock, Texas. With air travel being the only option, the team's budget is far from enough to cover our expenses. Even though we are a varsity level team, the amount of funding we receive from the University is severely limited and the team is mainly self-funded through the athletic fee paid by the players. After paying for uniforms and registrations, this fund is severely depleted and we have barely enough currently to cover the tournament entry for the National Championship. With the long distance international flight and the dwindling Canadian Dollar, the athletes are looking at spending up to a prohibitive $1300 to go to the tournament. We are asking for $2500 so that it would be possible to cut down the cost to below $1000 per player making it much more affordable for our champions to attend. Please help our players bring home the National Championship Trophy. Any amount you donate will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you so much for being part of our Table Tennis dream!
