Come enjoy wine, food and smooth jazz Thursday, October 12th at Bonacquisti Winery, 4640 N. Pecos Street in Denver, to support Seeds of South Sudan scholars attending school in Kenya.

Funds will support Awan Mawut Mapior, a South Sudanese orphan who has  earned an associate’s degree and is working on a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health. A presentation at 7 pm will describe Seeds’ success at educating 150 students since 2009.

What you can expect Oct 12th: An evening of great jazz from the Jazz Hands Foundation Band featuring Tom Capek on keyboards, Rick Brough on bass, Deon Kuhl on drums, and Brian Counterman on sax. Their clean jazz and blues is sure to delight.
