Artfully, Sammons Jazz Brunch Fundraiser

Get a behind-the-scenes look at The Sammons Center’s historic facility at our 2nd Annual Artfully, Sammons Jazz Brunch, featuring award-winning flutist Daniel Pardo.
We anticipate 130 guests at this mission-centered fundraiser, which will offer guided tours, introductions to some of our Resident Groups, and an afternoon of world-class jazz.
Join us from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in Meadows Hall at the Sammons Center to celebrate art and culture, collaborative partnerships, and the crucial work of the Sammons Center, supported by our generous community of donors and patrons.
Proceeds from this year’s Jazz Brunch will support the Sammons Center’s Annual Fund, focusing on our ongoing Artfully, Forward campaign to raise $1M to support four key areas of the organization, including:
- Enable capital improvements
- Support the Olimpio-Sammons Scholarship Fund at UNT, which provides a year’s tuition for a student working toward a post-graduate degree in jazz annually
- Sustain artist wages for Sammons Center performers now and in the future
- Provide general support, which enables the continued growth of the Sammons Center and its vital programs and services
Our staff, board of directors, and volunteers hope you will support our efforts by participating as an event underwriting sponsor, a volunteer, or a guest.
All sponsorship opportunities include optional recognition benefits, such as digital and print marketing, reserved table & buffet brunch for at least two guests VIP gift bags for table and guests, and complimentary valet parking.
