Jazz in the Park for Charity (JITP) has established itself as one of
the signature summer events in Chicagoland. Historically, it has
featured the best in local and nationally renowned jazz entertainment,
and samples of cuisine from the finest restaurants in the Southern
Suburbs. Founded by civic leaders and arts patrons Martin and Lois
Anthonisen, JITP has grown into an event that attracts over 1,000 jazz
fans annually. Proceeds from Jazz in the Park for Charity 2010 will
benefit local not-for-profit organizations.
In 2008, State Representative Al Riley assumed the position of Chairman
for Jazz in the Park for Charity, Inc. Rep. Riley has amassed a
planning committee of well known and dedicated community leaders to
craft the event. A number of major sponsors have supported the event,
including a major grant from the Charlene Davis Theater Fund of the
Anita M. Stone Jewish Community Center. Jazz in the Park for Charity
2009 was therefore the culmination of over a year’s work. |
