A message from Geoff Roach, Executive Director of San Jose Jazz
In early 2009, in the process of producing the most successful Jazz Festival in its twenty-year history, San Jose Jazz lost $200,000 in revenue when two large companies withdrew their sponsorships. Since that time, San Jose Jazz and its Board of Directors have taken and continue to make every reasonable step to make-up for this unexpected shortfall. We have cut expenses, found new sponsors such as AT&T, held fundraisers, and received new grants from foundations and government agencies. Nevertheless, in these economically challenging times, it hasn’t been enough.
One challenge that we always face is reaching all the people who enjoy and benefit from our programs. This is where you can help. You may have some friends and family who enjoy what we do. Would you ask 2 to 4 of your friends to help us out? It's easy. Just forward this page to them with your introduction and ask them to click on the link below to become a member or donate to San Jose Jazz.
Being a supporter of San Jose Jazz, you already make a difference. I know how this recession is kicking us all and you may not be able to do more. If you can donate more, that would be great. You may know someone who could and you know them better than we do. Some of your time and influence will make a difference. Will you help?
