The Hillel School of Tampa is proud to sponsor "Behind the Scenes with Academy Producer Gil Cates" at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. As Hillel's major fundraising event for 2007, this special function promises to provide an elegant, exciting and intriguing evening. The funds raised from this event will help to support the education of young children in the Tampa area.

The Hillel School of Tampa is a private day school located in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, Florida. The school currently enrolls approximately 200 students in Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, and provides an excellent academic education, enhanced by the traditions of the Jewish culture. The school seeks a balanced, well-rounded education of the whole child and creates a caring, stimulating and challenging educational environment in which self-confidence, critical thinking, and creative problem solving can be cultivated. The school uses a variety of methods and techniques in order to provide students with successful experiences that nurture their individuality and their intellectual and moral growth. Hillel welcomes students of all religious denominations and financial backgrounds.

As is the case with most private schools, tuition alone does not cover Hillel's yearly operating expenses. Hillel hosts a major fundraising event each year, in addition to various fundraising activities throughout the school year, to ensure that its outstanding and enriching academic programs are accessible to children from diverse financial backgrounds. Hillel's goal is never to have to turn away a child based on financial considerations.

Hillel is excited to bring this exceptional event to the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and is appreciative of your support and interest in the education of children in the Tampa area community.
