Over the next sixteen years, the event has evolved into a program that is presented as “Cool Jazz Clean Water Capital Jazz Festival and Wine Tasting Event”, with the net proceeds being split between funding Rotary-sponsored water projects in Africa; purchase of new and refurbishing used instruments for the four local School Districts to make available to low income students; and the rest is designated to a jointly planned “working together for youth” workshop attended by leaders from Thurston County youth programs and opportunities for youth to attend Camp Hope.
