Last night, CAJE’s Comedy for a Cause event to raise funds to support Miami’s Leo Martin March of the Living program surpassed our own expectations with 400+ attendees.
By the end of the evening, our goal of $250,000 for the March was exceeded! We want to thank the Host Committee and the CAJE staff for all they have done to make this event a success. Special shout-outs to:
- Debbie Brodie Weiss—Our Fundraiser Extraordinaire!!! We kept raising the goal because she kept exceeding it.
- Carly Orshan (Director, Teen Dept.) —Whose vision and direction of the program, the video, the gift baskets and the March itself is spectacular!
- Stephanie Goodman (Program Manager, MOTL)—Who implemented the vision and gave countless hours to this project.
- Diana Burnet (Admin)—Who helped build the webpages, process the registrations/ donations and worked all hours of the day and night to make it a success.
- Orly Landau (Admin)—Who prepared our online virtual program, pitched in with basket-making, e-blasts and more.
&
- Igor Shteyrenberg (Executive Director, MJFF) —Who assisted with the platform, the video and technology. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Much appreciation to the rest of the CAJE staff who pitched in to make it all come together! Many patrons wrote to us about the program:
Mazel Tov and Kudos to Rabbi Efrat, Debbie Brodie Weiss and Carly Orshan …all involved in the innovative and terrific CAJE Comedy for a Cause last night! Messages from Sid, Nadine, Elise and Gil were inspiring as were the words of our honorees Morrie, Moj, Laura and Tara. This virtual experience was so well-planned and executed. It made us laugh and cry.
