Mission of Gatsby's Gala
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Eau Claire Jazz, Inc. has proudly raised nearly $90,000 for our Student Scholarship Fund, awarding more than $7,000 in scholarships to date.
This fund celebrates students deeply invested in the UW–Eau Claire Jazz Studies Program — those who perform, lead, and work tirelessly to advance jazz on campus and beyond. By supporting these scholarships, you are helping launch the next generation of jazz musicians, educators, and cultural leaders. With your continued support, we can grow this impact even further — opening doors for more students and strengthening the future of jazz in our community and beyond.
