Case Study

Humor Me Live

Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov (HSBY) is a Bais Yaakov girls’ high school in Chicago, Illinois. Its student and alumni body is diverse and dispersed throughout the United States (and beyond.) Due to COVID-19, HSBY was forced to cancel its annual fundraising dinner. In light of that, “Friends of HSBY” hosted a virtual comedy event in support of HSBY. “Humor Me Live” featured Elon Gold, an exciting raffle and honored Baruch and Chumie Redfern. It also offered an opportunity for the school to connect with its alumni from all over, as opposed to just those located in Chicago.
