GROVE MUSIC

JAZZ IN THE GARDEN

    Coconut Grove's Plymouth Congregational Church will be hosting  "Jazz in the Garden" tomorrow (Sunday, February 23). The event raises money for the United Negro College Fund.

    This is the church's third annual effort to support the Fund and to honor Miami-Dade's chapter of the National Pan-Helenic Council.  The group supports our country's traditional black colleges and universities.

     The ""Jazz Brunch" begins at 11 a.m.  The Joe Donato Jazz Band will play with featured vocalist, Brenda Alford.   Both have enthralled South Florida audiences for years.

   The jazz brunch began in 2012.  In the first two years,  it has raised over $32,000 for the UNC Fund. The organization was created in 1944 to assist college-bound African American students. It funds scholarships for approximately 70,000 students attending 900 universities every year.

    The public is invited to enjoy the brunch and music from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.    Tickets will not be sold but donations will be greatly appreciated.
