Table Tennis For Hope
What started as months of planning, organizing, and preparation finally came together on August 15, 2026 and because of every single person who showed up, played, volunteered, donated, supported, and believed in what we were trying to accomplish, we were able to raise $1,507 for the Canadian Cancer Society, surpassing our $1,500 goal.
Congratulations to our winners!

CLAIRE LEBLANC SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD — Liam Christian
This award is especially meaningful. The Claire LeBlanc Sportsmanship Award recognizes someone who represents what this tournament is truly about, respect, kindness, encouragement, and making sure that everyone feels welcome at the table. Congratulations, Liam. You truly embodied the spirit of the event.
I also want to thank every player who travelled to be there, every volunteer who gave their time, everyone who helped set up and take down, everyone who donated prizes or food, everyone who purchased raffle tickets or something from the canteen, and everyone who simply showed their support.
Most importantly, thank you for helping turn table tennis into something bigger than a sport.
I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished together, and I hope this is only the beginning.
Thank you all for making the 2026 Table Tennis for Hope Newfoundland tournament so special.
Till next year,
Ali Alburaki
