YOF Auction: A Landmark Event Our annual

Y O F

The YOF Annual Auction on January 11, 2020 truly lived up to its “Landmark” name. As guests drove to Kitchen 21 along the Coney Island Boardwalk, they were greeted by the most prominent of Coney Island landmarks—the Parachute Jump —decked out in Flatbush colors to honor the event.

Auction: A Landmark Event

Kitchen 21 was packed to capacity with a record turnout by students, parents, alumni, teachers, administrators, staff and friends. Entertainment included a Flatbush choir performance, a magician, a juggler and caricature artists. Guests took the opportunity to enjoy their evening mingling with the extended Flatbush family.

Everyone went home a winner as the fundraising efforts skyrocketed to a new record high. We are grateful to the staff and volunteers who worked together for months and countless hours to make this event the success that it was. We thank the evening’s corporate sponsors and everyone who bought raffle tickets. Hopefully, we will all be able to celebrate YOF together in the upcoming year.

Many thanks to our devoted Auction Committee chairs, Mrs. Sarah Chalouh, Mrs. Esther Chehova and Mrs. Pauline Shabot and to the rest of the committee who worked diligently to plan this successful event. Special recognition also goes to Director of Operations Mrs. Esther Kizelnik, Events Coordinator Mrs. Hana Hasson, Director of Development Mrs. Hila Stern, and to the rest of the Development team for their outstanding efforts.
