Care to Jazz History
Care to Jazz is PCHS' signature
fundraising event held annually in July featuring entertainment from
some the Northwest's premier jazz performers. Preparing to enter its 8th year
in 2009, Care to Jazz has raised more than $150,000 since its inception
in 2002, with nearly $82,000 benefiting the Edwin G. Tegenfeldt, MD
Patient Care Fund.
The event is a Friday evening affair -
outside on the patio of the Silverdale Beach Hotel overlooking the
exquisite Dye's Inlet - that features a
delectable buffet dinner, no-host cocktails, live and silent auctions
and an evening of wonderful jazz music. The money raised throughout the
evening is an invaluable contribution to a fund that helps patients pay
for ancillary fees such as prescription medications, x-rays and lab
fees.
Keep tabs on our
progress for 2009.
