ONE WEEK TO GO! Please help me support Our PlaceNY!

[Miri Korbman]

Dearest friends and family, 

The annual Yeshiva League Legends Tournament is only ONE WEEK AWAY! 

My Bruriah High School alumni teammates and I are so excited to get back on the court in support of Our Place NY, an incredible community organization. Thank you to all those who have already donated - we greatly appreciate it! Please consider helping us reach our fundraising goal to benefit OurPlace by donating here. No amount is too small! 

About Our Place NY: Our Place NY is our 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 tri-state area, serving 25,000 hot meals, placing several hundreds in rehab & therapy, and enabling over one hundred to re-enroll in school or seek positive employment each year. With an unadulterated model of unconditional love and no religious agenda, 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. Our Place is their last hope. 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.

All the best,

Miri
