For the 6th time in a row Holon will host the annual International Grand Prix Contest for rhythmic gymnastics. This highly prestigious contest takes place in eight countries and provides access to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It attracts the top of rhythmic gymnasts from all over the world. Four Israeli gymnasts are expected to participate in the 2007 Grand Prix. Holon is the only city outside Europe hosting the Grand Prix and Holon is determined to preserve this honor. Because of extensive media exposure, the Grand Prix is considered as important promotion of Israel in general and Holon in particular. Further sponsoring and support are needed to maintain our high standards in organizing this event.

The Therapeutic Sports Center was established in 1988 to offer physically disabled children and youth specially adjusted training programs to enhance their fitness, social skills and well-being. Current facilities: activity rooms, a small AAT (animal-assisted therapy) cabin, a lawn and a small basketball court. One very important facility is still missing: a hydrotherapeutic swimming pool. For some children hydrotherapy is the one and only beneficial therapy. The ambition to establish a 1 million USD pool needs further support.
