JAZZ IT UP! SOLD OUT!!

(Official results - revised)

"I knew very little about people with Down syndrome, and I left feeling so inspired, what an incredible group of parents."

"This event has completely changed my views and perspectives of people with Down syndrome."

"As a parent I was hesitant to invite my family and friends as we are still dealing with our own issues around having a child with Down syndrome. I felt proud and honored to be part of this great community of parents. You have given us and our family a new sense of hope."

"The energy in this room was so positive; you could see the pride in everyone's eyes."

"We were so impressed by this event, and cannot believe this is your first, you did an amazing job. The food was excellent, great entertainment and amazing silent auction items. We will be back and will bring all of our friends."

"I have been to many fundraising gala's but can honestly say this is the first time I really felt like my contribution would make a difference."


"I was asked to come by a friend, but knew very little about the organization, by the end, I left feeling like I was part of something very special, and I want to know what I can do to help."

"What a wonderful night!  My family was blown away.  We had a fabulous time and it was a very impressive evening. Thanks to all of you for making Jazz it Up happen for our kids."

Among the many memorable parts of the evening were the reactions of those in attendance during the slideshow. There were tears of joy and pride expressed as many cheered and clapped for each child.  This reinforced a wonderful sense of community.

Craig Steele and Michael Leclair wish to thank all the volunteers, donors, corporate sponsors and attendees for their invaluable support.
