The International Table Tennis Federation is pleased to announce that the Inaugural ITTF Dream Building Fundraising Dinner will be held on Friday 17 May 2013 during the LIEBHERR 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, France. The fundraiser dinner will be held at the official ITTF Hotel, Marriot Rive Gauche, from 6.30pm to 10.00pm.

Officially launched at the LIEBHERR 2012 World Table Tennis Championships in Dortmund last year, ITTF Dream Building is ITTF's consolidated Social Responsibility Program consisting of the Global Development Program, Para Table Tennis and Junior Table Tennis.

"We look forward to meeting all our partners, friends and supporters at this special Fundraiser dinner, and we hope that you will give generously to support the growing program- in 2012 alone we carried out more than 150 projects," said Mr Adham Sharara, ITTF President.

Tickets for the dinner are 250 euro per person, and corporate packages are from 2,500 euro per table, which seats 10 people and includes several benefits such as your company's recognition during the Dinner and on ITTFDream.com. The top 5 corporate donors will also receive a special award from the ITTF President during the dinner.

"Together let's change the world 1 ping pong ball at a time," encouraged Mr Sharara.

As this is our very first fundraiser, dare we DREAM big?
