SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Jazz Fest organizers have raised $657,000 for this year’s event, surpassing the goal of $650,000 when the fundraising campaign started back in November.
That’s according to Frank Malfitano, founder and executive producer of Syracuse Jazz Fest.
“The past 4 months, our fundraising efforts have yielded incredible results,” Malfitano said in a release. “and clearly the success we’re seeing with our current campaign is directly attributable to the tremendous audience response the festival received last summer.”
