And with the FrontStream event builder, they were able to incorporate their logo, colors, imagery, and add videos.

Ben Porat Yosef School (BPY)  is an innovative Jewish day school in New Jersey. Each year, around 400 students grow and learn  to become responsible Jewish citizens contributing to global society. The school’s success is made possible through contributions to their annual campaign, Annual Scholarship Walkathon, and Shorashim Capital Campaign.

Dawn Collins, Manager of Hockey Operations for Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer’s, explains, “We are the pioneer of having a charity hockey event with ex-NHL pros in Canada – nobody else did it before us.”
