In the midst of an incredible year for The Frisch School athletic teams—including all eight winter teams competing in the playoffs, a second-place finish at the Yeshiva University Sarachek Tournament, and a Girls JV Volleyball Championship—The Frisch School is proud to announce that its 5th Annual Sports Breakfast will take place on Sunday morning, May 18, 2014.
The guest speaker will be Dmitriy Salita, a champion professional boxer who was also voted into the Jewish Week’s “Top 36 under 36” and the Forward’s “Top 50 Jews in America.” Mr. Salita was exposed to Orthodox Judaism upon his emigration from Odessa to the United States and has successfully meshed a professional boxing career with his religious observance.
The Sports Breakfast recognizes the accomplishments, dedication, and support of The Frisch School Cougar Family. Frisch Athletics boasts 26 boys and girls varsity and junior varsity teams in more than 10 sports. The 2014 Sports Breakfast will include a special presentation of a championship banner to the 1982-83 Frisch Boys Varsity Basketball team, Frisch’s first-ever boys Yeshiva High School League champions.
The Sports Breakfast marks the culmination of the “Support the Cougar” grant-matching campaign run in conjunction with the AVI CHAI Foundation. The grant focuses on using social media to tell the story of Frisch athletics in order to raise funds in support of the athletic program. For every dollar raised through the Annual Sports Breakfast and the associated “Support the Cougar” campaign, AVI CHAI will match dollar for dollar up to $500 per individual gift.
