Annual Yeshiva League Legends Tournament

[Miri Korbman]

Dear friends,

Last year, my fellow Bruriah High School alumni and I competed agains women's alumni teams from all over the tristate area in the first annual Yeshiva League Legends tournament to support Our Place NY. Your donations helped to make that happen, and we are so grateful! This year, we have the privilege of representing our alma mater yet again on March 31st, 2019, and we are reaching out to you for your support.

Our Place is the community's largest network of drop-in centers for at-risk Jewish youth struggling with drug & alcohol addiction, past trauma & sexual abuse and criminal behavior. On an annual basis, the Our Place drop-in centers service over 1000 Jewish youth in the New York area, serving 25,000 hot meals, placing several hundred in rehab & therapy, and enabling over one hundred to re-enroll in school or seek positive employment each year. Our Place's devoted therapeutic and programmatic staff are available around the clock 24/7, as they do everything possible to give a second chance at life to hundreds of young people in our community each year who otherwise would have nowhere else turn. It is no secret that the overdose and suicide rates in our community continue to grow, and thank G-d, there are heroic people like the staff at Our Place who are continuing to fight this never-ending battle on the front lines. Unfortunately, addiction and abuse do not discriminate against any community, including our own, and Our Place plays a vital role in helping so many of our young people ultimately achieve a sober, productive and meaningful life.

Causes such as this are particularly close to my heart as I work toward completing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology. It is an honor and privilege to combine two of my great loves, basketball and mental health, to benefit the Jewish community. Please support my team and OurPlace NY by donating to my personal fundraising page:

No donation is too big or too small! Please feel free to pass this link along to friends and colleagues to support Our Place NY. 

Thank you so much for your support!

All the best,

Miri
