As part of his preparation for his upcoming adult Bar Mitzvah on March 28, 2026 — which also coincides with his 50th birthday — Ryan Posner is focusing on Tikkun Olam: doing his part to help repair the world and strengthen the community.
For his Bar Mitzvah project, Ryan is supporting Hannah's Bake Sale, a community tradition that raises funds and awareness for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Hannah is Ryan's niece, and her older brother, Reid, started the bake sale nine years ago to support his sister and others living with Cerebral Palsy.
What began as a small neighborhood event has grown into a joyful annual tradition that's raised over $53,000 for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation — including a record $8,285 last year (even in the rain!). Every dollar goes directly toward research, treatment, and awareness for people with Cerebral Palsy.
Come enjoy an afternoon of homemade treats, cookie decorating, face painting, music, and the always-popular EPIC candy drop!
📅 Date & Time: Sunday, November 9, 1:00–4:00 PM
📍 Location: The Enclave at Long Island
(off Johnson Ferry Road, near The Epstein School)
💚 Donate: paypal.me/reidbakesale
All proceeds go directly to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation
