WE NEED YOUR HELP!
As you may have heard, the City Park Bandshell, which was built in 1929, replacing an older structure, was completely destroyed in a fire early in the morning of March 26. As it was a City property in a historic district, Denver government and the Parks and Rec division has their hands full planning the demo and rebuild — and it leaves City Park Jazz without a stage or power for this season. (Important reminder: City Park Jazz is a completely independent 501c(3) non-profit organization — we are NOT a city division.)
Our current best estimates put the costs of mobile stage rental and power supply to support our needs at approximately $30,000 for the season — which is an additional cost we will have to incur outside of our usual season expenses.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Donate. Every dollar you can pitch in — which is a tax-deductible donation* — will help us cover these significant costs and ensure this season will be everything you’ve come to love about summers in Denver.
Share. Help us get the word out and share the donation link — https://cityparkjazz.org/united4jazz — with your own networks and encourage your friends and family to pitch in what they can. The word of mouth can be an incredibly powerful tool, and we have seen just how amazing the City Park community at large is at every concert we produce.
Sponsor. If you own a business or work for a company that has a charitable giving program or might be interested in aligning their brand with an incredible organization that reaches 10,000 people every week and tens of thousands more via social media, now is a PERFECT time. We also have a fantastic sponsorship presentation you can share with anyone who might fit the bill.
