The Pizzazz with Jazz Luncheon raises funds for four very important projects:

Scholarship Fund - Each year two students are selected from the University of Houston and Sam Houston State University to receive scholarships. Two students will receive $2,000 each. One student at the University of Houston will receive the J. Kent Adams Scholarship in the amount of $2,500. One student at Sam Houston State University will receive the Clara Lewis Scholarship in the amount of $2,500. Funds needed: $9,000.

Free Children's Series - Cypress Creek FACE presents four performances each season that are completely free to the public. Because the concerts are free, they are attended by children of all races, ages, and income levels allowing community members the opportunity to experience a live performance, in some case, for the first time.  Funds are used for artist fees and production costs for all four performances. Funds needed: $6,000.

Summer Strings Camp Program - Cypress Creek FACE presents two summer strings camps each summer for junior high orchestra students.  Funds are used for scholarships that are given to students who are not able to afford to attend and to help pay for teachers, student transportation (via Klein ISD busses) and other production costs. Funds needed: $5,000.

Narda Rignauld Martin Strings Library - Cypress Creek FACE has purchased 19 string instruments (violins, cellos and basses) for students to use during the summer when they are unable to use their school instrument. Some area students are not able to afford to rent an instrument. FACE would like to help those students maintain their skill level over the summer by providing an instrument they can borrow for free. FACE will work with area school orchestra directors to identify worthy students. Narda Rignault Martin was a FACE board member who passed away in 2019 after a battle with cancer. She supported Cypress Creek FACE as a concert goer, a sponsor, and board member, but we were blessed that she shared with us her sweet smile, her kind soul and her love of the arts. Funds are needed for the initial purchase of these instruments, any potential future purchases as well as repairs to the instruments and new strings.  Funds needed: $5,000.
