FUNDRAISING EVENTS
THE ANNUAL GALA
Save the date to Revel for a Cause at Jazz St. Louis’ Gala!
We are excited to celebrate Jazz St. Louis again in 2019 with our annual gala! Each year our gala raises funds solely to support education and engagement activities for youth in our community. Your support will help further our education programs and actively preserve the future of jazz in our community. Jazz St. Louis has entertained, trained and educated more than 170,000 students since the year 2000. Through our education programs, students gain access to training from some of the world’s most influential jazz artists. Each education program is uniquely developed to enhance creativity, empower self-confidence and advance leadership skills in young people. We proudly transform youth throughout the metropolitan area and help form life-long bonds that in turn bridge cultural gaps and strengthen the future of jazz in greater St. Louis.
