The Jazz Sanctuary Hits New Fundraising High, Announces February Concerts in Greater Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Jazz Sanctuary, Philadelphia’s most unique performing arts non-profit, recently completed a two-month matching fundraising campaign raising $19,114, a new record for the 14-year old organization.

The Jazz Sanctuary will perform three live, free concerts in the Greater Philadelphia area in February, including appearances in Buckingham, Yardley and Old City Philadelphia.

“Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we successfully raised $9,557 during our match period—every dollar of which will be matched,” said Alan Segal, Founder and Executive Director of The Jazz Sanctuary. “This support allows us to continue bringing live jazz performances to the community through the end of 2025. While February is a lighter month with just three events, we’re actively booking more, aiming to grow our schedule from 33 events to at least 50 this year. Despite the cold, we’ll be keeping the music ‘hot,’ and all of us hope to see you at one of our upcoming performances.”
