A number of silent auction items were available for purchase including a private dinner for two by Kingston1 Private Chef; a ticket package to an upcoming Chris Botti Concert and a private wine class for 20 provided by Total Wine & More.
The Gold Coast Jazz Society, established by Frederick Ruffner and a group of avid jazz buffs from South Florida, first began presenting concerts at the historic Riverside Hotel, located on the famous Las Olas Boulevard. The organization's mission is to perpetuate and advance the cultural form of jazz through performances, education and outreach activities. GCJS reaches thousands of children each year through in-school programs of jazz education. A jazz concert series is presented at the Broward Center's Amaturo Theater from November through May each year.
