Ashar Hockey Team Receives Highest Honor


The Ashar Hockey team was contacted last week by an Endowment Associate from a Donor Advised Program from the Greater Metropolitan Chicago area.

It was explained to us that the Ashar Hockey Team's charitable efforts over the past few seasons had won the attention of this major Jewish organization. The Endowment Department of this charitable organization contacted Ashar Hockey asking for further information about our team in order to process a recommendation for an unsolicited grant.

Over the past three seasons the Ashar Hockey Team has raised nearly $100,000 in charitable contributions for children special needs schools, sports programs for the disabled, paralysis research organizations, as well as thousands in support for various Israeli causes.

The word of our hockey team being considered for this grant is a matter of great pride and we are honored to share news of this grant with all the members and supporters of our hockey program.

We thank the people of the Greater Chicago area for noticing all the efforts of the Ashar Hockey Team in the small town of Monsey, New York so many hundreds of miles away.

We also thank them for the opportunity to honor those who have helped a bunch of elementary school kids understand that people really do believe in them. This honor validates for these boys, the fact that if they set goals and work together as a team they can accomplish great things.
