Thank you to everyone who has fueled the project thus far.
We're one week to go and we need your help to reach our all-or-nothing goal. Please take a minute and fuel the project.
So far, we've had more than 600 people join us in person or online. Not too shabby for Monday nights at a venue 6 blocks from the subway!
Using the tools of today, we're bringing jazz into the 21st Century. Bringing jazz not just to an in-house audience, but live online to an audience all around the world. To continue, we need your help.
We're coming to the close of the project, but we're also drawing near to our goal. We're not there yet, but with your help, we can meet and exceed it.
If you've taken the time to enjoy the music, please take a moment to help us reach our project goal. Remember, it's an all-or-nothing effort, so we still need your support!
Besides the many great rewards we're offering, by fueling the project you'll help support the efforts of more than 20 people.
Again thank you to everyone who has been a part of the experience so far -- people online; people in person; the many great musicians that played; and our wonder tech crew.
With your support we will reach our goal and open The Spectacular War Museum all around the world!
