A fun fact about this event is that it is completely volunteer driven. That’s right. The people coordinating this event are not getting paid. Jazz Society of Oregon gathers donations and sponsorship throughout the year to be able to offer this free event. If you would like to support, consider making a donation on the organization’s website.
