FAQ: WHY SHOULD I
ATTEND THIS EVENT AS A VIP GUEST OF HONOR TO SUPPORT THIS OUTSTANDING CAUSE
THAT I BELIEVE IN?
"Walk the
Walk" by attending one of the years very best events and plant the seed for
synergistic opportunities for yourself and others while helping a truly
outstanding cause and having FUN!
1. One of the year’s best events.
As you can see from our attendees - https://jazzforpeace.org/testimonials -
this event for you is one of the best events you will attend this year.
So if you are going to go to an event, why not go to one of the years very
best, while benefitting your own outstanding cause at the same time?
Summary: Go ahead and sponsor a pair of tickets or more if you do not live
within striking distance of this event. But otherwise – Don’t miss this
experience!
2. SYNERGY. – Don’t miss out on the enormous possibilities for you and for your
organization.
Here is just one example of many:
On Saturday, March 13, 2004 Jazz for Peace played a Benefit Concert for Harlem
Dowling-West Side Center as part of our Benefit Concert Series. At that concert
was a friend of a volunteer who made a suggestion to a volunteer who was also
at the concert who then told a board member who was also at the concert who
then told the Events Director (who - you get it - was also at the concert!).
The idea turned out to be a special VIP concert featuring the Jazz for Peace
Quintet which took place on Thursday, April 8th at Magic Johnson
Theater in Harlem where over a quarter of a million dollars was raised.
This is just one of many examples. We are now moving forward with this
wonderful organization to our third stage event while moving to the second
stage and fourth stage with other organizations.
World Class Cultural Events such as this one (www.ljjm.biz ) have
a long history of drawing high quality people and the partnerships that have been
made just at our VIP Meet and Greet social hour that takes place BEFORE the
event even begins have been magical.
BE one of those many people that makes a fabulous connection for themselves or
for their outstanding cause because they attended this special Jazz for Peace –
United Nations – 10th Anniversary Celebration to support your favorite cause.
3. A chance to "WALK the WALK!"
The Jazz for Peace Empowerment Tree Grant helps to Separate the Wheat from the
Chaff by exposing to the public organizations that have real people, real Board
members, real supporters and real volunteers who want to make a real difference
as opposed to a fancy web site with minimal substance trying to use images and
text to wrangle donations. Our events give the public a chance to meet the
people who serve on boards rather than just sit on them along with founders,
directors, staff, volunteers and many others associated with each outstanding
cause we celebrate who are really trying to BE the change they want to see in
the world.
Are YOU one of, or a friend of, or a family member of, or a supporter of one of
those special organizations deserving of far greater funding and recognition
than the average charity?
There’s no better nor appropriate time than this internationally acclaimed one
of a kind event for you to show it!
4. FUN!
It’s actually FUN to experience something truly unique in the arts and culture
while "Doing the Right Thing" at the same time for a cause that you
believe in.
However don't take our word for it.
Take it from those who have been there: https://jazzforpeace.org/testimonials
In the famous words of John, Paul, George and Ringo: "FUN is the one thing
that money can’t buy."
Summary: You OWE it to yourself!
