The Baltimore Chesed League – by Columbia Group wrapped up its 7th season on Sunday evening, April 14th. With 150 boys spread across 22 teams, this was BCL’s largest season to date! The league marked the occasion with a celebratory banquet at Ner Tamid, sponsored by Tactic Therapy and Rentals of Distinction. Most of the boys arrived at the dinner, proudly wearing their BCL sweatshirts, sponsored by the Kove Group.
At the event, the boys heard inspirational speeches from “graduating” BCL player Aryeh Weinberger and first time coach, Mr Shlomo Brodie. In addition to enjoying a delicious dinner, the boys participated in a fun “BCL trivia game” and then viewed a memorable slideshow to cap off the evening. A great time was had by all!
BCL would like to thank the coaches and organizations who partnered with us this year, helping to show the boys all the wonderful chesed opportunities we have in Baltimore.
