#74 - Donate during a humanitarian crisis or disaster (57/101).


"Do not stand idly by if you witness injustice", Elie Wiesel stated during a commencement speech in 2011. The civil war in Syria began in 2011 and since then, has left millions displaced and hundreds of thousands murdered. I am saddened by what is happening currently in Aleppo and I could not stand idly by as I witnessed this injustice.

I donated to the Jewish Coalition for Disaster Relief, a coalition of organizations working in Syria, Jordan, Greece, Hungary, Turkey, Serbia, Austria and Israel to assist the 13.5 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance.

Join me.

#81 - See a NBA game (56/101).

On Wednesday, I experienced my first Atlanta Hawks NBA game. It was the Atlanta Hawks versus Miami Heat and we won! The game was so much fun, I went with a couple of colleagues from work and we sat close to the Hawk's sixth man section, a section of die hard fans that audition for free tickets to games each season. In a couple of weeks I will be going to a Cleveland Cavaliers versus Los Angeles Lakers game and I'm so excited!
