8th Annual Jazz Legacy Foundation Fundraising Gala

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2022 Jazz Legacy Foundation's Decade of Excellence Gala, Parts 1 and 2!  It is our pleasure to present to you the 2022 Jazz Legacy Foundation Fundraising Gala line-up. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your support during these difficult times.

It is the mission of the Jazz Legacy Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, to transform young lives through charitable support by way of educational scholarships, creative arts, leadership development, mentoring workshops, and community partnerships, all with the aspirations of enhancing the appreciation and preservation of the art of Jazz. We will also create and conduct workshops, mentoring programs with master musicians, and offer educational scholarships to further musical endeavors and development. We need your help to accomplish our goals, and we hope that you deem our efforts worthy of your donations, sponsorship, and support.

We are very proud that the Jazz Legacy Foundation was able to present for the 7th year, generous donations to be used by the music departments to purchase equipment and to keep much needed music programs alive, well, and accessible to our youth.  We were able to expand our giving to include Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton and    Newport News Public Schools Music Departments. Your contributions and support will allow us to continue to fulfill our mission throughout our region and country.   In addition, we have held  workshops featuring   JACKIEM JOYNER,  KAREN BRIGGS, MIKE PHILLIPS, JONATHAN FRITZEN, ISAAC BYRD JR AND JAMES LLOYD , PAULA ATHERTON, in Portsmouth , Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News.  The young music students have loved and embraced the experience, and we hope to continue with more of these activities.
