To qualify for the tournament, each team must raise a minimum of $2,000 using Charitable Impact. This amount grants one player entry into the singles tournament, and two players entry into the doubles tournament.
If capacity allows, your company can choose to enroll an additional three players (one doubles team and one singles team) for every additional $1,000 raised. We cannot guarantee that there will be capacity for every company to add additional teams.
Teams must meet the minimum fundraising requirement by midnight on October 12th, one week before the TechPong tournament.
Sorry, kiddo. This is a 19+ event.
Each team is composed of one doubles team and one single player. We welcome co-ed teams and players of all skill levels. While the competition can get pretty fierce, the emphasis is always on having a blast and maintaining a friendly atmosphere.
The first round of competition will be timed, and the highest-scoring teams will advance to the next round. More information and complete tournament details will be provided closer to the event date.
Of course! You choose how to structure your teams—bring your ping pong MVPs and show us what you’ve got.
Your Campaign page is a free and simple way to track and celebrate the success of your fundraising efforts. It will capture the total sum of all contributions made to your fundraiser.
Once you’ve registered for the event, our team will reach out to help you set up your Campaign page and give you all the information you need for fundraising success.
Campaigns can be used as your team’s only fundraising page, or you can invite individuals to create supporting Giving Groups for different departments and small work fundraisers (i.e. bake sale)
To create a Giving Group, you must sign-up for a free Impact Account. Find step by step instructions on how to set-up your Giving Group here.

Absolutely! Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada) is a registered charity, and all donations made on this platform are immediately tax receipted.
Only donations submitted directly to Charitable Impact can be tax receipted. If you have collected a sum of cash outside of Charitable Impact, the individual contributors cannot be tax receipted.
Creating a Giving Group is a simple way to raise money for a cause. You can easily share your group on social media, set visible fundraising goals, and keep track of the donations you’ve received, all in one place. Anyone can make a direct donation to your Giving Group and instantly receive a tax receipt. This can be done through a one-time donation, or by opening a free Impact Account which allows contributors to easily add funds to support your team and be part of your Giving Group conversation.
Their Impact Account will be ready if they’re inspired to support any registered Canadian charities in the future, too.
To create a Giving Group, you must sign-up for a free Impact Account. Find step by step instructions on how to set-up your Giving Group here.
To qualify for TechPong, funds must be donated to your official TechPong 2023 Campaign page or an associated Giving Group. This is how we track the total amount donated, and the total amount raised cannot be artificially inflated.
