Annual Fall Fund Drive
Hello, my name is Ted Kirkiles and I am vice president of Kuumbwa Jazz board of directors. As we enter our fund drive, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support of Kuumbwa Jazz. As a non-profit organization we depend heavily on donations from the public. This allows us to keep our ticket prices affordable, while providing world-class jazz to as wide an audience as possible. I decided to become a member of Kuumbwa many years ago after attending several concerts featuring outstanding performances by world-renown musicians in an intimate setting. At last I found a place where 'it' was about the music. Over the years I have found Kuumbwa to be a unique organization, providing great music and education to our community. It has quickly become one of my top reasons why I love living in Santa Cruz. I realized back then that by becoming a member I would be contributing to the on-going success of this professional organization.  If you are already a member, again I say, "Thank You" for your support. If you are not a member, I would ask that you consider becoming one today and know that you too are contributing to the success and longevity of one of Santa Cruz's greatest asset's...and you will be glad you did. – Ted Kirkiles
