On Saturday, August 29 in Michigan City, Ind, The Smooth Jazz at South Shore outdoor concert was held on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan in Washington Park. People were bundled up for both the cool temperatures and the cool jazz.
Morse & Company is a proud sponsor of this outstanding event, which drew 3000 jazz enthusiasts to the concert.
World-class performers included Rick Braun (trumpet), Jonathan Butler (guitar and vocals), and Richard Elliot (saxophone), who performed individually and together.
The concert--now in its third year--has raised well over $100,000 for three local charities:
Sand Castle Shelter for Children and their Families
provides short term drug and alcohol free shelter for homeless families
Stepping Stone Shelter for Women, Inc.
provides shelter, counseling, 24-hour hotline, and non-residential services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence
The American Red Cross La Porte County Chapter
provides services to members of the US armed forces and their families; disaster relief; blood collection and distribution to the sick and injured; teaches courses in first aid and water safety; and provides many other services.
