Dear Next Level Family, 

Hope you're
enjoying a nice weekend! For those of you who are unfamiliar with me, my name is Charly Walter. I play on the Next Level High School Club Team. I'm writing to share some exciting
news...I have recently been named to the Israeli U19 National Women’s
Lacrosse team that will be making its appearance in the Women's World Lacrosse
Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland this July!

Consisting of a mix of Israeli players
and Jewish Americans, each player will be playing in honor of a particular
"Tzedakah" program, or charity. I'm playing in honor of Makif Heh
School, where I became close with a few women’s lacrosse players. I met them
over Winter Break 2014 while I coached, toured and played in Israel. 

My
experience in Israel was a trip of a lifetime. I coached multiple clinics in
various Israeli cities with elementary-high school aged students. I met and
befriended many Jewish teenagers, some who reside in Israel, and some from the
United States. I got to see many famous Israeli sites such as the Western Wall,
the Dead Sea and Masada. We attended and celebrated Shabbat. The last few days
of the trip, we traveled to Brussels, Belgium to compete against Team Belgium,
and to support our U19 Men’s Team in their tournament. Our Team won against
Team Belgium each time we played them.  

Our team will train together from July 19-26 in Scotland before competing
there in the Women’s World Lacrosse Championship. During the time not consumed
by training, we will hold youth lacrosse clinics
to train the next generation of European
players. 

This is only
a five-year-old organization and this summer will mark our first appearance in
the Women’s U19 World Lacrosse Championship. A major portion of our costs
are covered by donations; each player is responsible for fundraising to help the program meet the
costs of organizing, competing, and enabling us to support our designated
charity.

I am hoping
you might consider donating to the organization; there is not any amount that
is too small! Please visit my fundraising page to
read a bit more about what representing Israel in the
World Cup means to me and to purchase a raffle ticket or place a donation of
any amount. Here is the link: http://donate.lacrosse.co.il/player/charly_walter. 

I really appreciate your consideration in this unique and exciting endeavor.
Additionally, if you know of anyone else that may be interested in
contributing, please forward this message along.

I look forward to the summer lacrosse season!

All the best,

Charly
