FAQs

What is the impact of my support?

This year, we will raise funds for our award winning STEM programs.

Our plans include:
• A comprehensive curriculum review and enhancement.
• Upgrading science labs in the upper school, and building out a dedicated science lab in the lower school.

Your support allows us to offer excellent academics to a diverse student body, while also fostering a strong Jewish identity in our children.

What should I wear?

Wear what makes you happy! Dress to impress or just keep it comfy.
Sequined dress? Check! ✅ Your oldest, most faded pair of jeans? Check! ✅ Your favorite sparkly earrings? Check! ✅

As this is an indoor/outdoor event, we suggest lots of layers, including a jacket, and check the weather forecast as the event gets closer. Please wear flat, comfortable dance-worthy shoes as this event will take place in the gym, and also outside on the small turf field.

What is the cost to attend?

Is my ticket tax-deductible?

Are children allowed at the Spring Benefit?

What is the program?

I’ve never been to an event with live fundraising. What should I expect?

After dinner, our professional auctioneer will help raise funds to support STEM programs at Hausner. Every guest will receive a “paddle.” which is a card with a bid number. During the auction, you will have a chance to hold up your number to pledge your donation. Making an additional donation is encouraged, but not required. Like all independent schools, we rely on our parents, alumni families, and community members to help us raise these critical funds.

I already donated to the fall campaign. Why do we have two annual campaigns?

Like nearly all independent schools, we must raise approximately 10% of our budget through fundraising. In the fall, we are able to raise approximately half of the necessary funds. In the Spring, we raise money for a cause — this year it’s STEM — and ask everyone to ensure that our school can thrive, offering excellent academic programs coupled with joyful Jewish learning to families in our community.

What is a Subscription party?

Subscription parties, sometimes called “Count Me In” or “Sign-Up” parties, build community and support our school. These parties have one or multiple hosts, each with a fun theme/activity. Attendees purchase tickets, and all ticket sales directly support Hausner. These parties range from dinners to camping trips, and can be geared towards either adults or families.

I would like to attend the event but cannot afford to do so. What can I do?

All volunteers who help set up, check-in, or help with clean-up will be able to purchase two reduced price tickets (which are discounted by 60%!) . Please purchase "Day of Volunteer - Discounted Tickets" and we will contact you to choose a volunteer role. If you have questions, please email Shari Rubin-Rick (srick@hausnerschool.org) as we want every member of the Hausner community to be able to attend.
