The North American Olympic Trials take place in Markham, Canada from April 8-10, and US athletes will be putting it all on the line to punch their ticket to Rio. Eight US players will head to Canada for the event, looking to join Yue Wu on the Olympic Team.

Donate to Friends with Paddles prior to the event, and receive a special deal on your gift. For the next month only, a $25 donation will get a “Friends with Paddles” paddle case, while a $50 donation will get you that case along with a “Friends with Paddles” T-shirt!

Friends with Paddles is the official fundraising campaign of the USA Table Tennis National Teams. It allows every member, fan or table tennis enthusiast to be a part of Team USA. 100% of each tax-deductible donation goes to national team programming in order to help our athletes compete against the rest of the world and achieve their dreams. From $10-$1,000, no donation is too small!
