360 ping-pong paddles were sent out to the creative community, that included artists, celebrities and creatives at several ad agencies in town. Lil’ Jon, Andre 3000, Jermaine Dupri and Chipper Jones were among the local celebrities asked to participate. Other contributors included: Natas Kapas; Bloo Empire; Totem2; and animators, creators and voice talents at CN’s Adult Swim.

They were told to design their own paddle for the show, doing whatever they wanted. We then rented a space in town to display all of the artwork, threw a huge party and held a silent auction for the paddles. All the proceeds went to Atlanta’s AFLAC Children’s Cancer Center.

In the end, we raised $5,000. Amazing.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and to DJ Dirty Digits and the Burn Unit for taking the event to the next level.
