Ohio Chapter

Since its founding in 1995, the Ohio Chapter has sponsored the Reim Sports Outdoor Court Project which is located 2.5 miles from the Gaza Strip. The Chapter has also underwritten two other key projects: a clubhouse at the Navy Base in Rosh Hanikra (sponsored by the Krasney Family), and The Elyakim Clubhouse (sponsored by the Reisman Family).  In addition, the Ohio Chapter has underwritten clubs, mobile gyms, and synagogues all over Israel. In 2010, the Ohio Chapter sponsored 38 IMPACT students.
