Since sports are so much a part of Max's life, he has selected the organization, "Let's Play It Forward" as the focus of his Bar Mitzvah Project. This organization collects gently used sporting goods and matches them with teams in need. Max is working within our community to collect baseball gear, tennis gear, basketballs, soccer balls and gently used sneakers to donate to this organization. Max also routinely donates to the Jimmy V foundation. He did a project for Hebrew School about this foundation and is a proud supporter of it. See more about these charities below.
