concerts for High Hopes, an Orange<br />

who have suffered traumatic head<br />
injuries. To date he has raised well<br />
over $2 million.<br />

Jazz Foundation, whose<br />

“This truly is a landmark<br />
for our Jazz Festival<br />
and the programs it helps<br />
support,” said Board President<br />
Chris Levister. “After many<br />
years above the Rite-Aid in Blue<br />
Jay and two years at SkyPark Santa’s<br />
Village we not only have gorgeous<br />
venues at the water’s edge, we<br />
have a two-night, three-day schedule<br />
that invites jazz fans who live off<br />
the mountain to spend two or three<br />
nights and enjoy the great accommodations<br />
and amenities of this unique<br />
Southern California destination.”<br />
