Whether you joined us in person or supported us through sponsorships, raised your paddle at the Mitzvah Moment, participated in the circus games and acts, or bid in the online auction, we are deeply grateful for your generosity at BZ Under the Big Top.

The gathering was a true testament to the strength of our community, with attendance of almost 300 guests. Together, we raised over $480,000, providing essential funding towards our strategic priorities, tuition assistance, and the continued excellence of our dedicated faculty and staff. Your support will ensure that our school continues to develop confident learners and compassionate leaders poised to make a positive impact on our world.

Those in attendance were deeply moved by our Mitzvah Moment video, which beautifully captured the deep, meaningful relationships built within the Bernard Zell kehillah (community)—connections that shape our students’ growth and define their future success.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our extraordinary event chairs, Ali Fishman and Traci Kraus, as well as the dedicated Fundraiser Committee, Bernard Zell faculty and staff, event volunteers, sponsors, and each one of our esteemed guests. The success of the night would not have been possible without their time, talents, and unwavering commitment.

Once again, thank you for being an integral part of our community and for making BZ Under the Big Top an evening to remember.
