Give Back Night at Dire Wolf Tavern
Supporting the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival
Join us for a delicious dinner with purpose at Dire Wolf Tavern on Tuesday, June 10th from 4:00-9:00 PM! A percentage of every dinner bill will be donated directly to the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival to support music education initiatives across the North Shore.
Part of the mission of the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival is to raise money to support music education initiatives. Studies show that children who play a musical instrument are more likely to excel in school and pursue a college education. Music education programs help children attain critical life skills like discipline, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and leadership.
Since inception, the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival has distributed almost $70,000 to music education initiatives throughout the North Shore.
Come hungry, leave happy knowing your evening out is making a direct impact on young musicians in our community!
