18th Maccabi Games

From July. 12/09 to July 23/09 over 5,000 participants will compete and gather in Israel in the Maccabiah Games which are also known as the jewish olympics. Over 50 Countries will be represented with Canada sending around 500 athletes and coaches.

The Maccabi Games are a sports competition where the main goals are not necessarily winning but to establish and promote lifelong friendships and camaraderie with special attention to Jewish culture and traditions, and to develop a sense of pride in our Jewish athletes from all over the world.

I am fortunate enough to have been named to the Mens open softball team which will give me a chance to play the sport I love and represent my country and culture which is an opportunity I can't wait to experience.

Although the experience and life lessons that come from this are priceless, there is a large cost involved in getting team Canada overseas and this is why I emailing you. The cost per player is over $7000.00 and we are looking for sponsorship money from anyone anywhere and in any amount.

If you are at all interested in this please go to www.maccabicanada.com and click on the donate/sponsor tab and select sponsor an athlete or team. In the name of athlete please select my name Ryan Freedman. Outside of that everything else is up to you. No donation is to small and you will receive a tax credit for all donations.

I do know that times are tough at the moment and some people are in better situations than others. All I ask is if you are unable to donate anything to this cause please do me the favour by forwarding this email to anyone who may be interested. Like I said earlier this is an experience I don't want to miss out on and want all my teammattes to be there with me regardless of there financial situation.

We thank you in advance for your participation and know that with your help Jewish athletes from Canada will enjoy a life long memorable experience that you have shared in.

Please email me if you have any questions, comments or concerns and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks for your time,
Ryan Freedman
