2010 Youth Maccabee Games are Coming - Sunday, August 22
|
After a several year hiatus, a wonderful youth event is being reborn through the co-sponsorship of the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys and the David P. Goldman B'nai B'rith Lodge #1004. The Youth Maccabee Games program is returning on Sunday, August 22, 2010, at the Foothills Middle School grounds at 171 East Sycamore Ave., Arcadia, from 9am through the afternoon.
This program is for our Jewish Youth, ages 8 through 15 years old. These boys and girls will have a wonderful time participating in age appropriate basketball, soccer, baseball, and track and field drills. Each child will be a winner, receiving a participant jersey and congratulatory ribbon. Competition will be present, but fun and camaraderie are the main goals. Each of the kids is assured of having a terrific time.
The Jewish Federation’s Youth Committee has been working hard to provide programs to bring our community’s youth and teens together. In May, they coordinated the broomball event that saw teens from Ontario to Glendale coming together. The Youth Maccabee Games is one of the many ideas that the committee is continuing to develop.
We encourage the entire family to attend and make the day an enjoyable family picnic event. Food and drink will be available, but of course everyone has the option of bringing their own refreshments.
In addition, we are also looking for sponsors of this fantastic event. Sponsorship levels begin at $100 and are a great way to support our community’s youth and the Jewish Federation at the same time. Sponsorships are due no later than August 1.
Participants need to register for the Youth Maccabee Games by completing a registration form and paying a nominal fee of $5. The deadline is Friday, August 13. The registration form is available by clicking here, by sending an email to the
