Maccabi Games in Denver
Children's Hospital Colorado is proud to be the medical sponsor for the JCC Maccabi Games® in Denver this year. Over 1,500 Jewish athletes ages 12-16, their families and friends, more than 1,000 volunteers and 600 host families have arrived in Denver for the event.
This Olympic-style sports competition provides a unique combination of sports,cultural and social activities. From August 1-6, delegates from all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Israel and Europe will test their skills in sporting events and experience a journey far beyond athletic competition - inspired with the values of community involvement, teamwork, integrity and pride.
By using sports as the vehicle, the ultimate mission of the games is to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of Jewish values within Jewish teens by enriching their Jewish identity in an informal setting and encouraging their identification with Israel at the same time.
