East Cobb teen Trevor Goldenberg holds basketball clinic for special-needs children

East Cobb teen, Trevor Goldenberg

Thanks to Donna Goldenberg for the photo and information about her son Trevor, who for the second year in a row organized the For Three Basketball Clinic for exceptional youth, and a few adults.

She says 18 participants, ranging in age from four years old to 39 years old, turned out for the clinic last Tuesday at the Mt. Bethel Christian Academy high school gym on Post Oak Tritt Road.

In addition, around 20 volunteers took part in helping run the clinic, which was held on Election Day, when Cobb schools are closed.

Donna says the clinicians are selected in various ways, usually by word of mouth. She says Trevor, who’s circled at the bottom left of the photo, began the clinic last year as a bar mitzvah project (the family attends Temple Beth Tikvah in Roswell). He is an 8th grader at Dodgen Middle School and is a member of the school’s Beta Club.

She adds that East Marietta Basketball, a youth organization, and president Clark Humble, is involved as a sponsor of the event.

“We are going to do it again next year and will continue to do it with their help,” she said. “Hopefully, we can get more sponsors next year to make it even bigger and better.”
