• There will be a USA Supporters Program offered for friends and family members of USA Team members to travel to Israel. More details on this package will be available spring/summer 2012.
• COSTS:
  In Hebrew, "Yachad" means together. Yachad is a program that requires a shared commitment from all of us to fund the USA Maccabiah Team and to ensure the success of the Games. Every appointed member of the USA Team must contribute a minimum amount in support of the Maccabiah and Maccabi USA. Yachad funds are a contribution to Maccabi USA and are non-refundable. The money need not be an out-of-pocket expense; it may be raised. Maccabi USA has a variety of programs that may assist you in your fundraising efforts. Together, we will make this the best Maccabiah, ever.
  
  The required shared commitment amounts for USA Team members are as follows: Open athlete - $5000; Juniors and Youth athlete - $8000; Masters athlete - $6000 to sponsor an athlete plus a registration fee of $2900 plus the cost of the trip (air/land); Coaches - $2500; Accommodations Managers - $2500; Athletic Trainers - $2000; Full-time Physicians- $TBD; Additional Coaches, Managers or Self-funded Staff: $8000.
