Chronicle poll results: Pittsburgh Maccabi Games
We asked our readers if they would be attending or volunteering at the JCC Pittsburgh Maccabi Games. Here's what they said.
Last week, the Chronicle asked its readers in an online poll the following question: “Are you planning on attending or volunteering at the Pittsburgh Maccabi Games?” Of the 186 people who responded, 65% said no; 28% said yes; and 7% said they weren’t sure. Comments were submitted by 35 people. A few follow.
I’m volunteering all five days. I am taking most of the week off from work to help.
We’re very sorry to be out of town. We’ll be cheering on athletes and volunteers from afar!
I’m volunteering. It was an easy decision after everything the community did for our family after 10/27.
I’m excited for a great event.
Absolutely. My wife and I have both volunteered for multiple events. This is a great time to showcase Jewish Pittsburgh not only to our local teens, but to the hundreds and hundreds coming from all over the U.S. and elsewhere.
I decided to volunteer. I’m retired, I like sports and I want to help. I just hope the weather cooperates.
Great event. Both my Pittsburgh grandsons are participating and I am volunteering.
I think it’s very important to support this amazing event and show the athletes and their families how resilient and strong the Pittsburgh Jewish community is!
I am volunteering for three days. I hope more people will sign up to volunteer for this terrific event.
Of course! This is an amazing opportunity to show off the Pittsburgh Jewish community and welcome thousands to the city of Pittsburgh.
Whether or not you plan on attending the Pittsburgh Maccabi Games, supporting our youth is vital to the future of the Jewish people.
Good luck to all of the athletes! PJC
