UJA-Federation of New York's Generosity Event
01/21/2010 - By New York, NY

UJA-Federation of New York's Generosity Event

UJA-Federation of New York’s annual Generosity event brought together more than 600 Jewish philanthropists in their 20s and 30s for an evening to support the critical services funded by UJA-Federation.

The evening's event took place on Thursday, January 21, 2010, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, 23rd Street and the Hudson River, in New York City.

UJA-Federation’s Generosity division, chaired by Peter Stern and Aaron Zises, is New York’s society 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.

After the successful launch of text-to-pledge technology at the 2008 and 2009 sold-out events, organizers again used the cutting-edge donor pledge technology that enables attendees to text message their gifts from their cell phones or PDAs and broadcast them in real time on multiple screens in the event space. The technology reached beyond the room and allowed for attendees’ friends and families and those unable to attend to e-mail, phone, or text their pledge during the event. This new technology will not only increase the dollars raised, but will also connect the event participants’ personal networks to the organization’s mission.
