Dear Family and Friends,
For my mitzvah project, through UJA’s Give a Mitzvah – Do a Mitzvah program, I have set a goal to raise $3,600 for the benefit of the sports programs provided to disabled youth and adults at the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled.
Sports have been a very important part of my life. Some of my favorite memories are playing sports with my friends, my dad, and my cousins. I love playing basketball, lacrosse, and tennis. I have been playing basketball since I was 7! Sports have given me the chance to make lifelong friends and to learn life skills such as leadership. They have also taught me the value of hard work, teamwork, grit, and of course some fun. They have given me an outlet to focus my energy outside of school. I can’t imagine my life without sports!
When I first heard about the work that the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled does, I knew immediately I wanted to help. The people who go to the Center have challenging lives due to their disabilities, which they have been born with or developed later in life because of an accident or terrorism. I would like to help give the opportunity to the children and adults at the Center to enjoy all of the positive things that sports have to offer: friendship, life lessons, inner strength, and just the ability to do something fun that they love! The money I raise will go toward the Wheelchair Basketball program at the Center and to purchase a brand new sports wheelchair for wheelchair basketball games.
Thank you for all your support!
Oren
