Support :: You Can Help :: Corporate Sponsors :: Foundation Support :: Individual Support CORPORATE SPONSORS Who Pays for Jazz? Through Tour Sponsorship or a Corporate Membership, sponsors enjoy exposure during our upcoming 2006-07 National Performance Tour to over 100,000 paying fans, with the potential to reach more than twenty million listeners through print and radio promotions in more than 50 markets around the country, such as Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia. What these fans share in common is more than simply an appreciation for good music... it is a passion. For most, it is a passion for all things New Orleans... music, food, culture, spirit. Beyond that they, like jazz fans everywhere, tend to have higher levels of education, higher income levels, strong propensity for travel and entertainment expenditures. Most are professionals. Learn what many are discovering-jazz swings with life, and no musical ensemble demonstrates this clearer than a big band. NOJO's big band delivers a message of exuberant and impassioned energy, tried and tested perseverance, and individual creativity. Our audiences experience this, rediscovering even themselves. NOJO looks for corporate sponsors that wish to join us in uplifting the human spirit through the power of music. Join us as either a tour sponsor or a corporate member, and support one of America's most exciting and premier big band jazz presentations. We offer a variety of sponsorship packages especially tailored to meet your company's goals. Or if you prefer, contact us to tailor plan your corporate sponsorship package.
