Wellesley Middle School student Max Hano not only had a great time at his recent Bar Mitzvah, but he also raised money for a local non-profit that donates sports equipment and apparel to disadvantaged youth across the country.
“My favorite thing is sports, so for my Bar Mitzvah, I wanted to help other kids play sports,” said Hano, who raised more than $700 by coordinating with the Good Sports organization to post a website where Bar Mitzvah guests could contribute rather than giving the 13-year-old cash for his own use.
