Whether you joined us in person, extended your support through sponsorships, raised your paddle at the Mitzvah Moment, or bid on items in the online auction, we are grateful for your generosity and support of our Midnight at BZ.

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 Bernard Zell continues to develop exceptional young people who put Jewish values into action.

Those in attendance were deeply moved by our Mitzvah Moment video, which highlighted Bernard Zell’s place in our community and its focus on preparing students for the future.

For those who were unable to attend but still wish to contribute to our cause, please find the link below.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our extraordinary event chairs, Ali Fishman, Traci Kraus and Ashley Wayne, 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 Midnight at BZ an evening to remember.
