Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School
Coaching, Event ManagementIn October of 2012, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School (BZAEDS), a private Jewish Day School in Chicago, hired Giving Tree Associates to manage live, silent and online auctions for its biennial event. More than 500 guests attended the event at the Swissotel in Chicago where the school hosted its largest attendance to date and exceeded its fundraising goal of $400,000. Giving Tree was retained again in 2014 to manage the school’s auction event, BZAEDS to the Future. The event, which took place in February 2015 at the Fairmont hotel, hosted over 500 guests and exceeded its fundraising goals by raising more than $410,000. The evening featured both a silent and live auction, a paddle raise and entertainment.
