To my dear friends and family, 

As many of you know, Chai lifeline/Camp Simcha has held a special place in my heart for a long time. As a former staff member of Camp Simcha, as well as having the opportunity to be a part of the larger Chai Lifeline family,  I built many long-lasting friendships which helped me through some difficult times. I am now embarking on an exciting  opportunity to give back to this wonderful organization. Bike for Chai is an integral part of Chai Lifeline's fundraising efforts and contributes an essential part of their overall success. Please help me give back by contributing to my Bike4Chai effort. It would mean a lot to me to me, as well as the world to the children with cancer and other illnesses who benefit in immeasurable ways from Camp Simcha and Chai Lifeline's incredible programs.

This summer, I am excited to take part in Bike4Chai, an exhilarating and challenging cycling event benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. Every mile I ride and every dollar I raise will help support critical programs and services for more than 6,000 families impacted by illness, crisis, and loss. These services include counseling and case management, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, crisis and trauma intervention, and Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs, Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and Camp Simcha Without Borders.

I’ve committed to raising $7,500 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach my goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. 

Life for a child with cancer, disability, or other serious illness is grueling. From the moment of diagnosis, Chai Lifeline’s dedicated staff and volunteers are there to provide joy, hope, and unparalleled care throughout the turbulent medical journey. Please contribute generously by clicking on the donate button now.

On behalf of the children and families of Chai Lifeline, thank you for your support.

Yaakov
