SAY kte& TO A HEALTHIER)? 2. () 1 T 0 The tip- off in the final basketball game IN T I N filled with a wide range of activi- ties, including sports such as vol- leyball, basketball, whirlyball and dodgeball; games such as checkers, Scrabble, ping-pong and Rummikub; and competitions such as song, cheer, dvar Torah, challah baking, oratory and the talent show. During RC week, the teens also raised more than $2,100 for various charities, including JARC, BBYO- Michigan's Stand UP! partner for the year. Though RC gets competitive, this is where close friends are made and bonds are formed, within and out- side of one's chapter. "I loved RC because it allowed me to participate in friendly competi- tion while giving me the chance to get closer to other Jewish teens throughout Michigan," said Zach Levine of West Bloomfield. This feeling of unity is an essen- tial part of BBYO and one of the main goals of RC. Therefore, though only two chapters can win it all, one AZA and one BBG, everyone leaves RC as a champion because they leave with a connection between all of Michigan Region that can only be gained through an organization as special as BBYO. ❑ Maddi Gonte, 15, of Bloomfield Hills is a member of Kulanu BBG.
