The concert will be a benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria Capital Region (BBBSV) to raise funds for youth mentoring programs.

Donations to BBBSV will help to expand local programs to address the critical need from local children and their families for the support of volunteer mentors.

Jazzed Up! will be held live and in-person at Alix Goolden Performance Hall at 907 Pandora Ave. on Sunday, January 29. The show starts at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20 or $10 for students, plus fees. Enjoy the wonderful voices of the choir while giving back to our community!

Now more than ever, families are reaching out for the support of BBBSV’s mentoring services for children and youth.

All funds raised will support local youth and enable BBBSV to support even more young people in our community.
