SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES
Dear Friends,
The state of the arts in our country has reached a very crucial period. With budget cuts
due to the economy and political influences, the arts are being crowded out and neglected in our
schools, businesses and communities. The Jazz Legacy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been founded to help make an impact in improving the current status of the arts
in our community and our country, in particular music, and the genre of Jazz, America’s only
true original art form.
It is the mission of the Jazz Legacy Foundation 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 Jazz. The initial goal is to support the music departments in our public schools by subsidizing the musical departments with the purchase of needed equipment. We
will also create and conduct workshops, mentoring programs with master musicians, and offer
educational scholarships to further musical endeavors and development. To achieve our goals,
Jazz Legacy Foundation Inc. will accept donations, raise funds from individuals, businesses,
organizations, and entertainment as a charitable cause in order to support our mission. As a result of our 2013 inaugural fundraising gala we were very proud to present a sizable donation to
the Portsmouth Schools Foundation followed by generous donations in 2014 to both the Norfolk and Portsmouth Public schools foundations. We were also able to hold an extraordinary
work shop for the music students in the Portsmouth Public Schools with world renowned violinist Karen Briggs.
On November 13th, 14th, and 15th 2015, the Jazz Legacy Foundation will present the
3rd Annual Fundraising Gala to support its mission. The gala will be held at the Hampton
roads Convention Center in Hampton, VA. This three day event will feature a tremendous line
up of Jazz talent anchored by Brian Culbertson, El DeBarge, Grammy Award nominee Gerald Albright, Marcus Johnson, Boney James, Maysa, Rick Braun, Richard Elliott, Paul
Taylor, Jackheim Joyner, Earl Bynum, Eric Taylor and many more. There will be silent
auctions, surprises, national and local celebrities. In addition, this year we will continue to
honor music educators in our community. Last years event was a great success, and we hope to
continue that tradition. We hope that you will support the mission and programs if the Jazz Legacy Foundation. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are now available. Please contact us for
further information at www.jazzlegacyfoundation.org, [email protected], or
call 757-737-2416. We appreciate and thank you in advance for your support.
Your Friend in Jazz!

Music is an important part our children's education. It is a proven fact that music and arts education improves overall academic performance in our youth. In our first two years, 2013 and
2014, the Jazz Legacy Foundation was able to generously donate to the Portsmouth and Norfolk
Public Schools, providing funds for scholarships, purchase of much needed musical equipment
and materials. Our goal is to continue to provide support by way of our programs goals
throughout our communities and region with a commitment to keep the interest an the love of
jazz alive. With your help we can expand giving and programs.
The Jazz Legacy Foundation hosted a workshop at Woodrow Wilson
High School in Portsmouth, VA featuring world renowned violinist
Karen Briggs. The students were eager with questions on all aspects
of Jazz and the business of music in general.
These are the students of the Norfolk Public Schools All City Jazz
Band! The Jazz Legacy Foundation provided them with much needed
funds for the purchase of musical equipment in 2014.
