Culture of Giving

2026 Spring Event



On behalf of The Brandeis School of San Francisco, the 2026 event co-chairs Dani Cooper ('29 Parent) and Shirley Katz ('30 and ‘31 Parent), and the Spring Event Host Committee invite you to enjoy Brandeis Speakeasy: 1920s Edition, an evening filled with signature cocktails, delicious food, dancing to your favorite hits with DJ Denon & Doyle, and a thrilling Live Auction & Fund-A-Need - all in support of our largest fundraiser for tuition assistance! 

Join them for a festive evening that has a powerful impact for our Tuition Assistance Program, as your generosity will provide essential tuition assistance support. This academic year, Brandeis has awarded over $4.9 million in tuition assistance to nearly 47% of the student body. With your support, this impact will continue to grow, sustaining the tradition of community that has defined Brandeis since its founding in 1963.

Sponsorship & Tickets will be available in February.
