Eric Greenberg Goldy
Eric is 15 years old and a student in the 9th grade at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City. Since the year of his Bar Mitzvah, Eric has been working diligently on his Mitzvah project, the PCF Strike Out Pediatric Cancer Bowlathon. Started in 2008, this project has become an annual event during which Eric's friends and family members attend, participate and support this event that raises funds for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Eric is quite committed to supporting this important organization and to date he has been able to raise $80,000. Additionally, he has been able to attain corporate sponsorships as well as get other communities involved in this program. It is Eric's hope that in the future the PCF Bowlathon will become an Annual National Event.
