Jacquelyn’s Jewels is our annual summer fundraiser, held in celebration of humanitarianism, great jazz, and education. On August 22, 2026, guests will be moved by the work and mission of Maranathan Academy, inspired by the achievements of our honorees, and enthralled by tour-de-force performances featuring special guest Elias Hendricks, Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist; internationally acclaimed jazz icon Marion Meadows, who will provide musical direction and a featured performance; and a spectacular finale performance by Grammy-nominated recording artist Kenny Lattimore.
