Jokers and Jazz Bash 2025

Each April, DSSW holds its annual Bash, celebrating community and leadership, while raising dollars for its programs and services. We’re taking a step into the 1920’s as we support the organizational efforts into the future! Jokers and Jazz features live jazz music, along with a fun silent auction, a catered meal and an hour of comedy from a nationally-recognized comedian.

Proceeds remain local and support upcoming programs, including Summer of Discovery, and continued outreach and support.
