At the opening ceremony, representatives of Thanh Nien Newspaper, philanthropists, businesses, athletes and artists awarded scholarships - a total of 400 million VND to 40 orphaned children (10 million VND each) during the Covid-19 pandemic under the program "Continuing life with children" implemented by Thanh Nien Newspaper.
Journalist Duc Trung, Editor-in-Chief, Permanent Vice President of the Thanh Nien Newspaper Journalists Association, said that the program "Together with children to continue life" - sponsoring orphans due to Covid-19 of Thanh Nien Newspaper was launched in September 2021. Over the past 4 years, the program has organized emergency support for nearly 2,000 children, long-term sponsorship for 459 children until the age of 18, awarded scholarships, gifts, organized entertainment for children on holidays... with a total amount of nearly 65 billion VND as of September 2025. The program also sponsored 86 orphans due to storm Yagi in the northern provinces with a total budget of more than 10 billion VND.
Within the framework of the program "Continuing life with children", Thanh Nien Newspaper and philanthropists, athletes who are artists have joined forces to organize 3 pickleball seasons: season 1 in November 2024 in Nha Trang, giving 100 million VND to orphans; season 2 in Ho Chi Minh City in April 2025, giving 112 million VND; season 3 in June 2025 in the old Long Khanh, Dong Nai , giving 150 million VND to help orphans due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in difficult circumstances where the tournament takes place.
"Season 4 of the internal pickleball tournament "Continuing Life with Children" returned to Ho Chi Minh City, with the main sponsorship of the pickleball product brand PASSION002 and the accompaniment of actor Huy Khanh, who has accompanied the tournament since the first season. It is very meaningful that right at the opening, we directly gave 400 million VND at the field to help 40 orphans due to Covid-19. We deeply appreciate the precious feelings and companionship of all the philanthropists, units, businesses, artists, athletes... who have supported the efforts and logistics costs to support the orphans. Once again, I would like to thank everyone and hope that this special connection will remain strong in the future," said journalist Duc Trung.

" Sports is also a language that connects people with love and sharing"
Mr. Tony Hoang, CEO and founder of the PASSION002 racket brand from the US, the main sponsor of the tournament, emotionally said: "Last year, on a trip back to Vietnam, I was lucky to be invited to participate in the pickleball tournament "Continuing Life with Children" season 3. I found this program very meaningful, especially in helping orphans, giving them more motivation to move forward in life, making up for the lack of love for children when they no longer have parents. I believe that sports not only train health but also is a language that connects people - connecting through love, sharing and the spirit of overcoming oneself. The presence of more than 200 athletes along with the faces of artists and special guests today is proof of that wonderful influence."
