ISB Spring Benefit

Thursday, May 9, 2024 from 7 pm to 11 pm

Join us for an unforgettable evening dedicated to supporting ISB and celebrating our diverse community. This is more than just a fundraising event: it’s an opportunity to make a positive impact while enjoying a night of delicious food and drinks, lively music and dancing, and spectacular company. Our theme this year is “Future Bright,” so break out your most festive and fabulous cocktail attire and get ready to shine!

Proceeds from this event will contribute directly to ISB’s Fund for Excellence, enhancing the educational experiences available to our students. Additionally, 100% of our venue rental fees will be channeled back into the community by supporting BRIC’s arts and education programming, including its renowned Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival.
