Silent Auction
Jazz Bridge is throwing a Fat Tuesday fundraiser (see block below) and we still have some places left for donated silent auction items for our big night. Your donations can be anything as long as they are valued at more than $30. You get our undying thanks and a receipt for your taxes! If you have something that might be suitable, contact me.
Also, any restaurants who want to donate fingerfood for the event, please contact me - you'll get tons of free advertising as a sponsor! |

This is so important and it doesn't cost a thing
I'd like to ask you to go to the link below and share your thoughts about Jazz Bridge for our Guidestar Profile. Guidestar is the nonprofit information resource where donors go to make sure their money is going to a legitimate charity. They are giving away $5000 to the organization that gets the most reviews. It's easy, only takes a few minutes, and you don't even have to give your name, but it would mean so much...these reviews also tell future donors that Jazz Bridge is a worthwhile cause and your feedback helps us build a better organization!
Contest ends February 28th! | | |
