YOU’RE INVITED! Gather around the table. Something GOOD is cooking.

Help us kick off our 2027 Annual Campaign in style. One night, endless impact!

We’re setting the table for a night of good people, great food, festive fun, and a taste of all the GOOD cooking at Jewish for Good. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or just getting to know us, bring your friends, make some new connections, and come ready to have a deliciously good time!

• Just a Taste: A Little Bite of What’s to Come | 6–7pm

  • Ease into the evening with cocktails, Havdalah, and brief remarks to kick off the celebration.

• The Main Course: Now we’re Cooking | 7–9pm

  • Savor a buffet dinner, open bar, live entertainment surprises, and more! Plus, add a little extra flavor with one of two optional hands-on workshop sessions (limited space available).

• Kitchen After Hours: Late-night Eats & Good Vibes | 9–10pm

  • Keep the good times cooking with late-night bites, one more round, and extra space to mingle with friends old and new.

Come for some or all of the evening’s festivities — and leave with great memories, new connections, and a taste of what makes this community so special.

So grab your people, book that sitter, and pull up a chair! Your night out helps kick off our 2027 Annual Campaign, fueling the programs, people, and connections that keep GOOD cooking all year long.

Event Pricing

Enhance Your Soirée Experience: Optional Add-Ons

Learn With Us: Opt-in 30-minute Workshop Sessions

Season your Winter Soirée experience with one of two special workshops. Participation is entirely optional, and each workshop is limited to 30 participants. Pre-registration is required at the time of ticket purchase — spots will fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Each guest may select their preferred workshop or choose not to participate.

Amplify Your Impact: Support the Cause + Community as an Event Sponsor

Feeling inspired to support the cause while helping make this special evening everything we’re cooking up?

• Secret Ingredient Community Supporter ($180): Everyone deserves a seat at the table! Your $180 sponsorship provides two tickets for someone who might not otherwise be able to join the fun — from a Jewish for Good staff member or local grad student to a freshly relocated family or new member of our community.

• Set the Table Supporter ($500): Every great celebration starts with a table worth gathering around! Make a $500 investment in Jewish for Good’s Winter Soirée and receive special recognition as a sponsor throughout the evening.

Please note that any event sponsorship add-ons should be considered as separate from (and in addition to) your pledged support of Jewish for Good's 2027 Annual Campaign.

Young professionals for whom pricing is a barrier should contact Sarah (sgindes@jewishforgood.org) for a special, reduced rate made possible by a group of generous community supporters.

Build Your Brand as a Winter Soirée Sponsor

Interested in showcasing your business at the Winter Soirée while enabling the GOOD we do all year long? Secure your spot as an event sponsor — whether in an exclusive “presenting sponsor” role or as one of many beloved “supporting sponsors.”

The Winter Soirée brings together the people who make Jewish for Good what it is: longtime donors, board members, community leaders, and young professionals from across Durham, Orange, Chatham, and Alamance Counties. Sponsorship puts your business in that room, and in front of the more than 12,500 community members we reach throughout the year.

Sponsors are recognized throughout the evening and in our promotion of it, at presenting and supporting levels. It’s visibility with a purpose: your partnership helps sustain programs and services that serve our whole region, all year long.

See sponsorship levels and benefits or contact Rae Williams, Chief Advancement Officer, at rwilliams@jewishforgood.org.

Sponsoring as a family or individual? You’re welcome at every level, or become a Secret Ingredient or Set the Table supporter above.
