Podcast 301 – Dunwoody Rallies for Play Your Heart Out at the JCC – Lauren Nelson and Jamie Steuer Lauren and Jamie, two Dunwoody High School students, are volunteering with heart—literally. They're helping spread the word about “Play Your Heart Out,” a high-energy pickleball fundraiser hosted at the MJCCA to support Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli nonprofit that provides life-saving heart surgeries for children around the world. The event has grown from a small basketball tournament in 2017 into a beloved Dunwoody tradition that blends sport, service, and community. Lauren’s passion for the cause started after volunteering at the SACH Children’s Center in Israel, where she connected with recovering kids from across the globe. Jamie was inspired by her family’s long-time support of the organization and wanted to get more involved locally. Together, they’re part of a bigger team of Dunwoody residents showing how even small efforts can lead to big impact. Every dollar helps save lives—no paddle required.
