Sponsorship Opportunities

At Hillel, we believe that rituals offer the opportunity to sanctify our lives, to connect to fellow Jews, and to elevate the everyday. At our Welcome Back Family Shabbat Picnic Dinner, the entire Hillel community, from our youngest two-year-old learners to our eighth graders, (over 560 students in all), and their families, will gather outside to celebrate the joy of Shabbat in a physically distant, safe, and festive manner. This celebratory evening will include family activities, songs, dinner, and a Shabbat themed giveaway. 

Hillel is able to provide an excellent educational experience to all of its students because of the philanthropic support of the community. Our Annual Fund raises essential dollars for the $3.2 million necessary to provide tuition assistance to Hillel families who may not otherwise be able to provide a Hillel education for their children, and Hillel is deeply grateful to all who give generously at every level. This year Hillel will be thanking all who have contributed to the 2020-2021 Annual Fund with a virtual Magic and Munchies. Hillel supporters and their children will enjoy a family-friendly magic show premiere for Hillel families only with world-renowned magicianTJ Tana from the comfort of their home. Supporters will also enjoy hand-delivered sweet treats, snacks, and beverages to accompany the viewing party. 

Hillel’s mission to inspire a passion for learning, responsibility to self and community, and devotion to Jewish living reaches beyond the classroom, and has a profound impact on the entire family. At Havdalapalooza, the Hillel community and greater Detroit Jewish community come together to mark the end of Shabbat with a joyful havdalah service and to celebrate the new week with music and entertainment for all ages. Metro Detroit organizations representing a wide swath of our community partner together for this fun and festive event! In the event of a virtual Havdalapalooza, attendees will celebrate Havdalah together from the comfort of their own homes with hand-delivered crafts and treats, with the ruach (spirit) spreading throughout our entire community and beyond. Havdalapalooza sponsors will receive recognition for the virtual program, as well. 

The modern state of Israel is where Jewish values come to life, and is a home for Jews from around the world. We see spiritual meaning in the existence of the state and are proud of its continued growth and flourishing. Each year, Hillel celebrates Israel with the Israel Independence Day Carnival. This festive FUN-raising event is held at school and includes carnival games, bounce houses, prizes, food, dancing, and attracts more than 500 Hillel students, as well as countless other children from the metropolitan Detroit Jewish community. Parents, students, alumni, grandparents, and faculty work together to ensure the success of this event, which has become a favorite tradition at Hillel Day School. In the event of a virtual Israel Independence Day celebration, we will hold day-long, Israel-inspired activities, and Israel Independence Day sponsors will receive recognition for all virtual programming.
