What is the Ping-Pong-a-Thon about? It is a fundraising and advocacy movement combating human trafficking and exploitation of young people in South East Asia via a series of table tennis events held annually each October. North Balwyn Baptist Church has been a host to this event annually since the beginning.

This is done on line www.pingpongathon.com (search “Balwyn North”). We welcome everyone to participate. It is open to all ages and abilities and we would love to have as many people possible playing during that 24 hours. You don’t have to play for the full 24 hours :). You can play for as long or as short a time as you wish. Or you may just want to come and support the players.
The estimated cost of rescuing 1 person from being Trafficked is $1,500. Here at North Balwyn Baptist Church, our aim is to raise $10,500 through the Ping-Pong-a-Thon and free 7 people from being Trafficked or being sexually abused and to give these people a hope and a future. To-date, we have raised $6,544 with more than 27 individuals of all different ages registered to play. Come join in the Fight for Freedom with North Balwyn Baptist Church on 21st September – 22nd September.
