The Ultimate Jazz Festival is more than a music festival. It defines education, awareness, economic development, charity and community as it strives to unify all entities of this diverse region. Jazz To Be Green is a non-profit organization that educates businesses, consumers and jazz enthusiasts about the environment. The annual event highlights a ?Go Green? Fair by providing several booths that educate and bring awareness to energy efficiency, green environment and green jobs. Jazz to be Green cares about the impact our daily activities have on this beautiful blue and green planet and its living things. We value working with people, clients and vendors, who are as passionate as we are about "Green" . We constantly strive to be better and continuously research how we can accomplish our green goals. Proceeds from the Ultimate Jazz Festival will benefit the Lupus Foundation.

To develop partnerships with local entities and to create a forum for sharing information on how to use energy more wisely, the importance of a green environment and the opportunity of green jobs all through the art of jazz. We resolve to become a model for environmental stewardship in our community and throughout the world.
