6th Annual Chi-Town Jazz Festival

According to a recent study by Feed America, 1 in 7 people in Illinois struggle with hunger. To combat this, Chicago's finest jazz musicians will donate their performances and many of Chicago's most beloved jazz venues will donate their space to raise funds for hunger relief through the 2015 Chi-Town Jazz Festival. 

West Suburban PADS has been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the multi-day event. This is the sixth annual festival, and will run from March 4 to March 8, with a closing performance beginning at 6 pm at FitzGerald's in Berwyn. In addition to music, Friend of PADS Steve Bankes will speak briefly at FitzGerald's about what's new at PADS, and the impact we're having on the communities we serve.
