JCC launches website for 2015 Maccabi Games

          The Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center has launched a website devoted to the coming JCC Maccabi Games, to be held Aug. 2-7, 2015, in Milwaukee.

          The site — MilwaukeeMaccabi.org — includes information about the games, including answers to frequently asked questions. It also has links through which people can contribute funds for the event, and to volunteer to be workers and hosts.

          As described in the July 2013 Chronicle, this event will bring 1,000 or more teen athletes, ages 13-16, from JCCs from all over the U.S. and the world, including Israel, to Milwaukee, to compete in 15 different sports. And with the teen athletes will come another 1,000 or more people — coaches, parents and staff members.
