Josh Mandell from Team Baltimore has been an athlete in 3 different sports for the past 4 summers in the JCC Maccabi Games. He cannot wait for the JCC Maccabi Games and ArtsFest to begin in Israel this summer!

Josh is determined to fundraise his way to Israel and is planting trees along the way! Josh has sent over 300 emails out to family and friends.

It is just that simple you can plant trees from the comfort of your home and help your own athletes or artists fundraise their way to Israel.

Josh’s efforts have even made the local Baltimore news, check out the press here:
