SPECIAL EVENT | Jazz & Jambalaya Fundraiser

The second annual afternoon of Jazz & Jambalaya will be held this weekend at French Quarter Café, as a fundraiser in support of the Baobab Cultural Center and Ujima Rochester.

Ujima Rochester is an organization focused on making a positive difference in the lives of local at-risk-youth and their families. The fundraiser will kick off a major fundraising campaign for 2019-2020 programming. Tickets include a dinner of traditional New Orleans cuisine, raffles, and Nawlins music by Nate Rawls Band.

Sunday, July 28, 2 to 6 p.m. at French Quarter Café, 130 Spring Street. Tickets are $60, RSVP by Friday, July 26, through The Baobab Cultural Center (563-2145) or Ujima Rochester (770-765-5424); tryupliftingouryouth.org.
