Sydney’s Bat Mitzvah Project

September 29, 2025 - October 12, 2025

On October 5, “Sydney’s Support Squad”—Sydney and her friends—will gather for a special packing party to honor the life and legacy of her Zayda (grandfather), Dr. Richard Hymowitz, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2017. The date is especially meaningful, falling the day before what would have been his 75th birthday on October 6.

This project is Sydney’s way of continuing her Zayda’s legacy of caring for others. With enough donations, she hopes to create as many care packages as possible to support families impacted by pancreatic cancer.

💜 Here’s how you can help: Donations made before October 5 are especially important so Sydney and her friends have everything they need for the packing party. Contributions can be made through her Amazon Wishlist.

Let’s rally together to support Sydney in honoring her Zayda’s memory and spreading kindness in his name.
