Federation to Host 2013 Pacesetter Event

As its name implies, the Pacesetter Event is one of the most important events of the year for the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, setting the pace for the Annual Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign by raising millions of dollars to support vital social services in Miami, in Israel and around the world.

On Wednesday, December 12, hundreds of Miami’s most enthusiastic philanthropists will gather in solidarity in the Sparkle Ballroom at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach to address major topics of concern to the Jewish people and pledge support for the most vulnerable.

Headlining the Pacesetter Event will be keynote speaker David Brooks. A political and social analyst, Brooks is an Op-Ed columnist at The New York Times and a commentator on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

Couvert for the Pacesetter Event is $155 per person (not tax-deductible), and includes valet parking. A $10,000 suggested minimum gift per invited couple to the 2013 Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign or membership in the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Star of David or Heritage Societies is requested.

The Star of David Society is a national honor society established by The Jewish Federations of North America to recognize those who create Permanent Annual Campaign Endowments of $200,000 or more, or any permanent endowment of $500,000 or more. The Heritage Society recognizes those members of Miami’s Jewish community who have created a permanent endowment of $100,000 or more through The Foundation, including members of the Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) Society.
