Ping Poulsen teaches table tennis and helps fund-raise for charities at Mickey’s Camp


Aug 22, 2009, Indianapolis, IND: Safis Solutions President and CEO Ping Poulsen helped raise funds for charities at the Mickey Mauerer Camp.    Over 130 women (August 17-19) and 130 men (August 19-21)  attended the camps in Bradford Woods to network, relax, engage in a variety of sports and related activities, and raise money for charities. Ping, who is the 2008 Indiana State Champion of Table Tennis in Women’s Singles, instructed table tennis and taught the campers about the fundamentals of the game.  Meanwhile, Alan Grambo, table tennis taught strategies.  Poulsen and Grambo won the state championship of mixed doubles in table tennis in 2004. Ping accepted Mickey’s offer to help teach table tennis at the camp after they met in the spring of 2009.
