Dear Tricia:
On behalf of the Ocean Institute, thank you for contributing to the 5th Annual Jazz in January this year by providing all of the centerpieces for the event. We are thrilled that you were part of this phenomenal weekend, and we are grateful for your valued participation. Rick Braun and Richard Elliott's performances were amazing and we know it will be hard to top this year's event next year! Both Friday and Saturday night were sold out and we raised more than $100,000 to benefit the Ocean Institute's educational programs.
These important funds raised at Jazz in January will help to increase awareness and understanding of the ocean environment for 109,000 students annually through our award-winning curriculum.
Once again, please accept our sincere gratitude for your contribution, and for allowing students the opportunity and experience to become the future keepers of our oceans.
