Together with the organisation "Educating for Excellence", Maccabi Tel Aviv join in on Israel's largest online charity day, "Giving Tuesday"
Tomorrow, Tuesday the 30th of December, the second annual online charity campaign "Giving Tuesday" will be held throughout Israel. Held in eleven countries worldwide, "Giving Tuesday" pairs commercial enterprises with not-for-profit organisations to provide the latter with greater public exposure and help with fundraising from small contributors in varying amounts. As the leading partner of the "Educating for Excellence" organisation, Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club will be joining the one-day campaign and urge their many fans to follow suit. As part of the campaign, Maccabi Tel Aviv will be giving away tickets to the team's home match against Hapoel Acre for all contributions above NIS 300. In addition, the official Maccabi Tel Aviv merchandise shop on Dizengoff St. in Tel Aviv will be contributing a percentage of their revenue on the day of the campaign.
The "Educating for Excellence" organisation strives to strengthen Israeli society by reducing social gaps and creating equal opportunities for children with potential for excellence who reside within Israel’s social and geographic periphery.The organisation's founders understood that children and youth with potential for excellence who live in Israel’s periphery do not have the appropriate support system that would enable them to realise their potential. Many of them who succeed during primary education continue to struggle with economic and social difficulties and therefore find it difficult to complete secondary school or integrate into society. As part of Maccabi Tel Aviv's commitment to the community, the club's Youth Division regularly invite programme participants to join the Maccabi youth teams for joint practices.
