THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Fundraising support is vital to the sustainment efforts of this nonprofit charity program. Without the support of our sponsors we could not offer this innovative professional music industry experience to the next generation jazz artists with no financial barriers to participation. Our 2023 Sponsors allow all aspects of our programming to be of high quality, impactful to the participating individuals as Youth Jazz Fellows, and our KC regional community beyond the season. To make a donation to Kansas City Area Youth Jazz, Inc. please contact our office at (913) 250-5141.
