Welcome
Points for Peace:
Points for Peace VII was a huge success! Thanks to the work of the SAT board and local volunteers, over 70 teams registered for this year's tournament and SAT raised $25,000. With the support of a matching donor, SAT's efforts will culminate in the donation of a whopping $50,000 to ATZUM (www.atzum.org), our beneficiary from this year's tournament. Look for tournament pictures in the coming weeks

Israel Movie Night:
Students Against Terrorism's first annual Movie Night was a resounding success. Over 100 people came to Studio Movie Grill, showing their support for victims of terror while enjoying an evening out at the movies. After a delicious dessert buffet, an introduction by SAT co-president Aaron Liener, and the launch of Points for Peace 2009 by co-president Brittney Herson, attendees settled in and watched the powerful Israeli film Beaufort.
While many in attendance were not expecting a difficult movie, all viewers left with a greater insight into the social and political conflicts evident in Israeli society. The strong interest in the event, combined with a great turnout, has prompted SAT to begin preparation for next year's Israel Movie Night. Hope to see everyone back there next year!
Welcome to Students Against Terrorism! Here's a brief overview of our organization.
Who We Are
Students Against Terrorism is a group of fifteen high school students from Yavneh Academy of Dallas. Together with a core of volunteers, we do several fundraisers each year to raise money for charities in Israel who support victims of terror.
What We Do
Following closely with the mission statement, SAT actively raises funds from generous donors from across the world. However, we do not simply solicit money; we think of fun and exciting ways to get the community involved as well as raising awareness for the situation in Israel.
We have two major fundraisers planned for this year:
Points for Peace is our annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Last year we had over 80 teams compete and raised more than $30,000 for the Koby Mandell Foundation. Click on the Points for Peace tab for more information.
Roses from Israel
Straight from the Kibbutz to your Shabbat table! Twice a month, SAT receives beautiful roses from Moshav Sde Nitzan and delivers them straight to your door. For more information on this project, as well as ordering options, click on the Roses from Israel tab.
