The UJA-Federation of New York’s annual Generosity event gathered nearly 700 Jewish philanthropists in their 20s and 30s for an evening to support the critical services funded by UJA-Federation on at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The Generosity division, chaired by Peter Stern and Aaron Zises, is for community-involved, socially conscious Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s. Through exclusive events, programs, and trips, Generosity creates positive, meaningful, and lasting changes in the lives of those most in need.
These emerging leaders of UJA-Federation of New York, the world largest local philanthropy, successfully launched the text-to-pledge technology at their sold-out event last year. Similar to last year’s event, the cutting-edge donor-pledge technology was featured again with the technology will be taken a step further.
Not only are attendees able to instantly text-message gifts from their cell phones or PDAs, to be broadcast in real time on multiple screens in the event space, but the pledge technology reached beyond the room, allowing those unable to attend the event to participate via a live feed, broadcasted on the Internet at www.texttopledge.com/ generosity.
Friends, families, and those unable to physically attend Generosity could phone, e-mail, and text their pledges that night and watch online as the pledges were broadcast across the walls at Cipriani. The new technology, soon to be a trend in fundraising, will help Generosity meet their fundraising goals during this troubled economy.
Abby Levin, Jerome Shapiro, and Peter Stern chaired the event. |
