In New York City public schools, Susan Sarandon has donated $75,000 to support table tennis programs.

Wednesday, the city Department of Education said that the money will pay for equipment and coaching. There are 27 high schools and middle schools that have added table tennis this year.

Sarandon is the co-owner of a Manhattan table tennis club named SPIN.

The actress believes that the sport relieves stress and is great for kids who are unfocused and need exercise.

Deputy Schools Chancellor Kathleen Grimm thanked Sarandon for her support.

The president of the American Youth Table Tennis Organization, Ben Nisbet, says table tennis is a fantastic sport for young people as anyone can play.
