Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) June 23, 2008 -- Play65 donates 100 backgammon boards (http://www.play65.com/pr10.html) to special schools in Israel as part of the "Good Deeds' Day", initiated for the second consecutive year by The Ted Arison Family Foundation. Held on Tuesday, June 17, the "Good Deeds' Day" invites organizations and individuals to contribute to the community in every possible way except for donating money including volunteering, giving away goods or devoting time.

Once a year, The Ted Arison Family Foundation and other firms with philanthropic means such as the Israeli Bank Hapoallim gird up their loins and sanitize their conscience for the "Good Deeds' Day". In this special day, individuals and large corporations are encouraged to use any of their resources to contribute to the community, but with one exception: money donations are not accepted.

Play65, the Israeli-based backgammon online (http://www.play65.com/BackgammonOnline.html) platform, for example, have donated 100 backgammon boards (http://www.play65.com/BackgammonBoardSetUp.html) to special educational institutions across the country. The backgammon boards, in standardized sized and made of full grained wood, will arrive to the substitutional homes of deprived youth and children of broken families, who would hopefully embrace the classic board game. Despite being a part of the family of war game, backgammon (http://www.play65.com/Backgammon.html) ("little battle" in Welsh), is known for centuries for its soothing effect on adolescents' raging hormones, making the backgammon board the ultimate good deed.
