In 2010, Student Funded Fellowships was the grateful recipient
of
$12,500 of matching funds from Professor Robert J. Hirshon, former
President of the American Bar Association, and the Wein Hirshon
Charitable Foundation. In collaboration with Dean Evan Caminker,
Professor Hirshon sought a creative way to leverage his gift to
generate even more money for SFF, and the Dean’s Challenge was born.
The
Dean’s Challenge attached a matching amount to several of the SFF
Auction’s most popular and exciting items. If a Dean’s Challenge item
met or exceeded the matching amount, Professor Hirshon made a matching
donation in the amount of the bid on the item.
The incentive
of the Dean’s Challenge and Professor Hirshon’s generosity added to the
success of several of SFF’s most popular Auction items. Zingerman’s
classic donation -- creating and naming a new sandwich in cooperation
with the Zingerman’s Deli staff -- sold for $1500, compared with a
maximum of $1300 in previous years. Skydiving with Professor Mathias
Reimann, which had netted $800 in multiple consecutive years, brought
in $1100 in 2010. These amounts and others were matched by the Dean’s
Challenge donation. The Dean’s Challenge was integral to the success of
the 2010 auction, our second-highest grossing ever, eventually leading
to a net gain to SFF in $15,200.
SFF is pleased to announce
that Professor Hirshon and the Wein Hirshon Charitable Foundation have
again committed their support to the 2011 Auction. We expect that the
Dean’s Challenge will continue to be a success, and we are exploring
new ways that Professor Hirshon’s generosity can contribute to the
success of SFF and create new opportunities for our SFF grantees.
