hours on June 17-18.
Susan Graham's Ali Gators team
raised $12,395 and Bill Graham's Big
Al's Buddies raised $9,327 in honor of
Susan and Bill's daughter, the late Alex
Graham.
Jay's Team, organized by Detroit
Maccabi Club track coachJoel Kasdan
and the late Jay Robinson's daughter,
Beth Kellman, had 50 members at the
West Bloomfield High School track.
They raised $3,280 and Kashdan
expects additional pledges will push
the total to $4,400.
Kellman credited teenaged partici-
pants, including students from Hillel
Day School of Metropolitan Detroit,
for keeping spirits high during the wee
hours of Sunday morning. The Hillel
team' of students and parents, who did-
n't begin their participation until after
Shabbat, raised $962 at the event.

A Prize-Winning
Remembrance

A Holocaust survivor s talk to
Avondale Middle School students in
Auburn Hills has led to an award-win-
ning, 10-minute video produced by
the students.
Martin Lowenberg of Southfield, a
docent at the Holocaust Memorial
Center in West Bloomfield, was inter-
viewed by five Avondale seventh-graders.
Their documentary, Remembering
the Shoah, took first place in the state
National History Day 2000 competi-
tion. It was one of 80 entries in the
fifth- to eighth-grade division at the
national competition at the University
of Maryland.
