Emily’s partner is helping start up the Louisville Jazz Initiative, which is striving to bring both Jazz music education and live Jazz performances to those who normally don’t have access to Jazz instruction and/or performances.  If you can help them out financially, they have a matching fund from Churchill Downs so your contribution will automatically be doubled!
