If you do, now is the time to act. The application deadline is July 7. There's registration information on the foundation's website, www. michiganjewishsports.org. Or call foun- dation Executive Director David Blatt at (248) 592-9323. High school seniors in the class of 2014 are eligible. 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 are offered. They're based on finan- 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. \ ❑ Send news to sports@thejewishnews.com .
