Arts & All That Jazz The Arts & All That Jazz scholarship benefit dinner and auction was first held in 2006 to underwrite the direct costs of Al Jarreau’s benefit concert held that year. It has since become an annual College/community gala to celebrate the arts. Net proceeds from the event are added to the Al Jarreau 1962 Scholarship in the Arts Endowment. As of June 30, 2010, the endowed scholarship totaled more than $87,277. The success of this fund-raising effort rests with the artists and other individuals who contributed art, services, dinners or special events, as well as a dedicated volunteer committee composed of both community members and College staff.
