The Sid Jacobson JCC Hammer Baseball Team is on a mission to make history with a third straight gold medal at the 2026 JCC Maccabi Games in Kansas City but our journey is about far more than baseball. Last year, 14 proud families traveled hundreds of miles to watch their sons compete, celebrate, and bring home gold. At the same time, 14 other families in Israel have spent nearly two years without hearing their children’s voices. We carry their names and stories with us, wearing yellow ribbons as a reminder of hope and unity.
Your support will help us train, travel, and represent the Jewish community with pride on the national stage, proving that these young athletes are not just champions of a game, but ambassadors of strength, faith, and resilience. Together, we can stand tall, compete with heart, and never forget those who cannot be here to cheer alongside us.
