The Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation 9th Annual Dinner raises a milestone $300,000 and sells out with record
attendance!
The Standard Club of Chicago was the scene for the Foundation's 9th Annual Dinner. On October 24, 2007, over
560 commercial real estate industry leaders joined Foundation members for a lively evening of cocktails, dinner, and
an exciting BMW raffle. Guests report the event as one of the area's best commercial real estate networking
opportunities, with important contacts made and deals begun.
The Foundation extends special thanks to our 19 sponsors, whose most generous support, combined with record
setting ticket and raffle sales, allowed us to raise over $300,000 in our fight against gastrointestinal cancers!
Mark your calendars for the Foundation's 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner on Wednesday, October 22, 2008. The event
will feature an exciting format with new sponsorship opportunities and extreme raffle! Contact us for more

| On October 7, 80 real estate students from universities across the Midwest joined Foundation members in Chicago
for the first annual Eisenberg Foundation Career Day. Career Day was designed and implemented with the help of student
leaders Patrick Berniacke (Marquette) and Alan Lagunov (UIUC), as a unique and invaluable opportunity for aspiring real
estate students to spend a day in the real life working world of commercial real estate.
The Program featured a dinner
with keynote speaker David Bossy, Principal and Chairman of Mid-America Development Partners, followed by a hand on tour
of an urban development site, round table panel discussions featuring Eisenberg Mentors, and a luncheon presentation and
question and answer with John Bucksbaum, Chairman of General Growth Properties. Watch for details on the 2nd annual Career Day on October 2-3. |

The 2008 Alumni Mentor-Mentee Event was our most successful to date. In addition to our new venue at LuxBar, located in Chicago’s Gold Coast, the event hosted its biggest turnout of HEEF mentors and mentees ever. This year’s event was hosted by Edwin Vdovets and Stephen Sotoloff and included toasts from Greg Moyer, Dan Hyman, and Peter Borzak. Additionally, Al Klairmont was awarded the newly created Eisenberg Achievement Award to recognize his tireless dedication to HEEF and in particular the Mentor-Mentee Program, which he founded and continues to nurture.
We look forward to seeing current members and new faces at next year’s event! Your participation has been instrumental to the program’s continued growth and success.
