Blue Streak Scholarship Fund and the Children of the Jubilee Schools of Memphis thank Fed Ex, ReTrans and Duncan Williams, Inc. for presenting the 6th annual Taste of Jubilee. The event occurs on April 23, 2010 at 7:00 PM on the grounds of the Pink Palace Museum and in the Mansion. Last year’s event was attended by over 750 people and raised $51,000, which was matched by the Hyde Family Foundation for a total benefit to the Jubilee Schools of Memphis of $102,000!
Guests will indulge in cuisine prepared by some of Memphis’ finest restaurants, including River Oaks Restaurant, Cafe Society, Grace and Erling Jensen’s.
The Taste of Jubilee will offer live music throughout the event and will feature a silent auction full of trips, sports memorabilia and art work.
The cost of the event is $75 per person prior to the day of the event or $85 at the door. Click here for additional details or to purchase your tickets. Click here to learn about about sponsorship opportunities.
Blue Streak Scholarship fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization devoted to giving inner-city Memphis children the benefit of a Catholic school education. Students receiving Blue Streak scholarships attend Diocese of Memphis Jubilee Schools — schools located in our city’s poorest zip codes. Created by area Catholic school alums as a grassroots project, Blue Streak has in less than eight years raised and distributed over $600,000 in scholarships to Jubilee School students.
Thanks to Kim and Steve Fracchia for letting us know about this incredible event!
I’d like to encourage anyone that loves good food and enjoys supporting a wonderful mission to come to this event. Blue Streak is an all volunteer group and 100% of the proceeds are given to support children of inner city Memphis. Our goal is to “break the cycle of poverty by providing a quality private education”.
I hope you can join us in this effort!
