Game of Hope
SPIN and PingPongParkinson Team Up to Bring Hope and Healing
SPIN is a ping pong social club, and at their core is a drive to connect through ping pong—a game that transcends age, identity, and physical boundaries. SPIN believes in the power of ping pong to connect people and make a difference. That’s why they’ve partnered with PingPongParkinson to offer ping pong sessions to those living with Parkinson.
Research shows that ping pong can have a positive impact on motor function, cognition, and mood, making it a valuable tool in managing Parkinson symptoms. But it’s more than just the physical benefits—it’s about the community, the joy, and the hope that comes from playing together.
Watch our documentary, “A Game of Hope,” directed by Cannes award-winner Juan Carlos Ortiz, and see the transformative power of ping pong for yourself.
Learn more about SPIN on their website.
