The Great Age Movement will host its 2nd Annual Jazz Luncheon on Sunday, June 3, 2018 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston. The event will benefit the capital campaign to raise funds to build senior playgrounds and support development of programs in community green spaces.
The Great Age Movement is working with private developers and public organizations to fulfill its mission to build senior playgrounds that promote health, learning and socialization in Houston and surrounding areas. Currently, two senior initiatives are in progress: (1). program development for the only senior playground in Texas in partnership with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension and Galveston County Parks & Recreation – Carbide Park in LaMarque, Texas; and (2). setting the groundwork for first future senior park in America in partnership with Wm Dillard & Associates LP on donated land in the City of Jersey Village.
The Second Annual Jazz Luncheon is a tribute to famed musician Duke Ellington, with his granddaughter Mercedes Ellington, legendary choreographer and dancer as one of the special honorees.
