What a welcome to the new year – two nights of incredible jazz at The Florida Smooth Jazz Foundation’s Rick Braun’s New Year’s Eve 2025 Gala in Orlando.
HAPCO LIVE performers kicked off the music both nights: the Aaron Innitelli Trio and Dustin Pace filled the air with lively smooth jazz.
The Florida Smooth Jazz Foundation’s support of our work to help young people reach their potential through music education is AMAZING. Last night, they gifted HAPCO with an additional $5,000, totaling $20,000 for the year.
It’s a grand beginning for 2026, as HAPCO celebrates 25 years of helping our next generations of young people improve their skills and using those talents to obtain college scholarships or pursue pro careers.
We are so thankful to Founder Cathy Powers and everyone who supports local nonprofits by attending their live music events.
Celebrating 20 years, The Florida Smooth Jazz Foundation works exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, promoting and producing music events for the greater good of the community.
