The Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) announced that it would hold its 2010 Annual Awards Dinner on Monday, March 8, 2010 at New York’s venerable Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Hosted by legendary entertainer Bill Cosby for nearly three decades, the iconic event pays tribute to individuals who embody the humanitarian ideals of Jackie Robinson. All proceeds support the Foundation.
Energy filled the air. Artistry graced the stage. And gifted Scholars represented the rich legacy of one of our nation’s most incredible advocates for change. The Jackie Robinson Foundation’s (JRF) highly successful 4th Annual JAZZ on the Grass benefit concert reflects the Foundation’s commitment to enhancing resources for Scholars.
