The showers outside didn’t dampen the spirit inside at the Jazzy Black and White Party sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the Links held Sat., April 29 at the American Jazz Museum.

In addition to enjoying the museum’s exhibits, the evening included light hors d’oeuvres, and your choice of music to party to: a DJ for getting your moves on and, of course, a classic jazz band.

This was a quintessential “party with a purpose,” with proceeds from the party helping to fund the organization’s local scholarships and community programming initiatives. Last year, the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the Links provided over $33,000 in scholarships to talented youth in Kansas City.
