ITTF Dream Building is the new umbrella branding of the social responsibility programmes recently initiated by the International Table Tennis Federation.
It combines the Development Programme "creating opportunities to dream", Para Table Tennis "nothing can stop the dream" and Junior Table Tennis "creating the dream pathway".
The programme was launched by Kimberly Koh at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 27th March 2012.
All Encompassing “The Dream Building campaign encompasses all that is "development" within the ITTF”, said Adham Sharara, ITTF President. “We need more funds to service more areas and more communities and make table tennis an accessible activity to all members of our society and especially to those that have financial or physical challenges. I hope that the table tennis community and the corporate community will support this programme in big numbers",
Seeking ITTF Dream Builders "Supporters of the ITTF Dream Building Program will now be referred to as ITTF Dream Builders, because they literally help to build the ping pong dreams of many around the world," explained Steve Dainton, ITTF Marketing Director and creator of the ITTF Dream Building concept.
The ITTF is now actively seeking Individual and Corporate Dream Builders.
Corporations are invited to partner the ITTF Dream Building program for their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. Recognition levels will be commensurate with the level of support, and ranges from Bronze Dream Builders to Platinum Dream Builders.
In addition, the ITTF announced plans to host a 2013 Fundraising Dinner at the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris. Seats at the dinner are available for purchase, with all proceeds going to the ITTF Dream Building program. Top Dream Builders will be presented with a commemorative plaque at the event.
