Young Leadership Committee of the Israel Children's Centers' (ICC) Annual Fundraiser
11/05/2009 - By Bowery Hotel

Young Leadership Committee of the Israel Children's Centers' (ICC) Annual Fundraiser

On Thursday, November 5, the Young Leadership Committee of the Israel Children's Centers (ICC) held its annual fundraising event at the Bowery Hotel.

The Committee members included: Ashley Birnbaum, David Cavaliero, Ali Copell, Dezireh Einalhori, Sasha Edelstein, Sarah Findling, Samantha Kessler, Seth Kessler, Lindsey Kinast, Daniel Merns, Jillian Merns, Tiffany Nazarian, Craig Shapiro, Matt Slaine, James Spector, Jacob Slevin, Maury Slevin, Asya Varshisky, Allison Wainstock and Rus Yusupov.

For more than 30 years, the ICC has been providing Israeli children with a safe, nurturing environment where they learn life skills through the sport of tennis. Today there are 14 Centers across Israel. These Centers now provide instruction and support for 9,000 Israeli children each week, making it the largest social service organization for children in Israel.

Uniquely designed programs have been developed that cater to the special needs of children who are developmentally challenged, who come from families regarded as "at risk," and immigrants who are seeking assimilation into the Israeli society.

In addition, ICC’s programs for Jewish and Arab children have become a powerful tool for promoting tolerance, developing cross-cultural relationships and ultimately peaceful coexistence. Research has shown that youngsters who grow up in regions of conflict are affected by the rhetoric of violence, with each group developing negative stereotypes of the other side. Sport has the unparalleled ability to transcend barriers of language, politics and religion and fostering acceptance and positive perceptions.
