o you know a worthy candi-
date for the Michigan Jewish
Sports Foundation's Male

Year awards and Bill Hertz Memorial
scholarships?
If you do, now is the time to act. The
application deadline is July 7.

dation Executive Director David Blatt at
(248) 592-9323.
High school seniors in the class of

The Athlete of the Year awards,
co-sponsored by the Jewish News, are
based on athletic achievement during a
high school career.
Scholarships for a male and a female

cial need, academic achievement and
athletic participation and are used for
tuition in the recipient's freshman year
in college.
They're named in memory of a for-
mer foundation vice president.
The athletes of the year and scholar-
ship winners are honored each fall at
the foundation's Michigan Jewish Sports
Hall of Fame induction banquet.
Useful Golf Outing
There are many golf outings for many
good causes on the calendar each year.
Organizers are always looking for ways
to make their event stand out.
The 21st annual Dr. Larry D. Sills
Memorial JCC Golf Classic had a differ-
ent twist this year that appears to be a
success.
Instead of participants receiving the
traditional golf shirt, golf hat or golf
balls, each golfer received something he
or she could use.
It was a portable cell phone charger
that provides a nine-hour charge to a
phone that's running out of juice.
"It's perfect for the airport ... or the
golf course said Paul Barker, director
of program development for the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit.
"The golfers loved it. We're going to
keep looking for useful items to give
out:'
Barker said about 100 golfers played
at Meadowbrook Country Club in
Northville on June 2 and about 150
were at the dinner.
Even though there was an 80 percent
chance of rain, the precipitation held off
until golfers were at the final hole.
"Mother Nature must be a fan of JCC
summer camps:' Barker said.
The outing is a benefit for the JCC's
Send a Kid to Camp scholarship fund.
Barker said about $10,000 was raised
through silent and live auctions and
the event "met its budgeted net income
goals:'
Nearly $2 million was raised in the
previous 11 years.
More than 1,000 campers were
enrolled in JCC day camps and Camp
Discovery programs in 2013. Financial
assistance through contributions and
proceeds from the outing was awarded
to 348 families and totaled nearly
$410,000.
The outing is endowed by the Sills
family in honor of their son and broth-
er, who died in a plane crash in 1987.
Barker said Larry Sills had a passion
for the many benefits of attending sum-
mer camp.
"For him, it wasn't only about archery
or swimming:' he said. "It also was
about independence, growth and the
lifelong friendships that are made'
Longtime JCC supporter Karen Sklar
Gordon was honored at this year's out-
ing. She attended day camp, worked as
a camp counselor, and has served as a
JCC Maccabi Games coach and Detroit
delegation head.
She was director of the Maccabi
Games held in Detroit in 2008 and is
co-chair of the 2014 Maccabi Games
& ArtsFest that will be held here in
August.
The 'Other' David Blatt
The Cleveland Cavaliers, owned by
Jewish Detroiter Dan Gilbert, has hired
a new head coach, former Maccabi Tel
Aviv coach David
Blatt — not the
Ar
' '
Michigan Jewish
Sports Foundation's
executive director of
the same name.
Blatt is the first
Jewish coach in the
NBA since Larry
David Blatt
Brown. Brown led the
Pistons to the 2004 NBA championship
and into the NBA Finals in 2005 dur-
ing his two-year stay. He is still coach-
ing, at age 73, at Southern Methodist
University.
