The 10th Annual Jazz & Pasta Party, benefiting Samaritan Counseling Centers of the Mid-South
The 10th Annual Jazz & Pasta Party, benefiting the nonprofit, interfaith Samaritan Counseling Centers of the Mid-South, will be Sunday evening, October 18, 5 – 8:30, atMemphis Botanic Garden.
This event supports the work of the Centers in providing affordable mental health care for all citizens of the greaterMemphis area, regardless of financial limitations.
Often a community's most vulnerable citizens have the greatest problems and least access to needed help. For 28 years, however, thousands in Greater Memphis have been able to find assistance in addressing their personal and family mental health problems at the Samaritan Counseling Centers.
The Centers were organized in 1981 to provide quality,compassionate and affordable mental health care, counseling and educational services to all needing them in Greater Memphis. Sliding scale fees may be arranged for low-income clients and for those whose insurance does not cover full-fee service. In all instances, the Samaritan Centers’ counselors respect clients’ values and work to help them achieve wholeness of body, mind and spirit.
The Centers subsidize the $50 per hour difference between the cost for their services and what low-fee clients can pay through a combination of support from area congregations, foundations and businesses, individual contributions and their own fund-raising efforts.
The annual Jazz & Pasta Party is the Centers major fundraising event and offers supporters a win-win situation. They get to enjoy a wonderful, fun evening with friends, with the proceeds going to benefit a good cause.
Rene Koopman with Tom Lonardo, Jim Mahannah and Bob Sunda will “jazz it up” with hot licks and cool riffs, while guests enjoy a variety of delicious pastas from some of Memphis’ best dining venues - plus all the accompanying edibles and beverages.
Cris Hardaway will be the evening’s host and auctioneer. After the toe-tapping jazz and taste-tempting pastas, there will be Live and Silent auctions – both presenting appealing and intriguing items, including art, antiques and artifacts, jewelry, vacation trips, culinary selections, entertainment options, clothing and grooming choices and one-of-a-kind specialty items.
For reservations or information, contact the Samaritan Counseling Centers of the Mid-South at 901/729-3900 orsamaritanmemphis@bellsouth.net. Individual tickets are $65, table hosts $650, and sponsors $1,000.
