Give a Jam to End Homelessness!

You don’t want to miss the FIRST annual “Give-A-Jam to End Homelessness.”  On December 22, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the Clifton Center, local musicians, actors, poets, artists, chefs, and business owners will donate their talents to show their commitment to ending homelessness in our community.  For only $10, you can see the cream of the crop of the Louisville music and theater scene in a one-of-a-kind jam with no boundaries. You’ll get short sets of everything from bluegrass ballads and jazz standards to poetry slams and juggling.  Another highlight of the evening will be the soups and stews made by a who’s who of Louisville chefs – including the winners of the 2011 Taste of Frankfort Avenue Restaurant Awards - and available for sale with all proceeds going to the Coalition. A cash bar and raffle items will also be available.  

Everything associated with the event, from the sound equipment to the artists using it to the stage they’re playing on is being donated, so the proceeds can all go to The Coalition for the Homeless.  This year’s funds will be used to provide “Dollars for Deposits.”  In other words, each dollar will go toward moving someone living on the streets of Louisville into a permanent, safe, subsidized apartment by the beginning of 2012.  Not many other activities this fun give you an opportunity to make this kind of difference in someone’s life.   So, please, buy your ticket and get one for a friend.  Even if you can’t attend, consider your purchase a donation and know you are making a difference this holiday season.

Tickets are also available by calling the Coalition for the Homeless at 636-9550 x 11 or by visiting Carmichael’s Bookstore, 2920 Frankfort Avenue.  Don’t miss your chance.  It won’t be around for another year!!!!   The Clifton Center is located at 2117 Payne St., just off Frankfort Avenue.  A poster with details about the event can be printed by clicking here.
