More than 5,000 Kansas Citians attended Jazzoo
this year. Guests enjoyed an evening of unlimited

impact. Jazzoo funds support a special diet for over 800
animals and supports the Zoo Learning fund…..a fund designed
to create educational programs for kids of all ages in the
Kansas City
community.
JAZZOO 2007
Main Stage:
THE KC ALL
STARS
|
2007 was
definitely the most dancing we've ever seen at Jazzoo! The KC
All Stars had 3 encores that night on the main stage. |
|
 |
| The
organization of Jazzoo this year was a credit to The Kansas City community
as a whole and it was obvious that a lot of hard work and planning went
into the entire production. There is no doubt that Jazzoo has earned
the right to be called one of the best charity events in the country. |
