A Legacy More Than 135 Years in the Making
For more than 135 years, Jenkins has stood as a symbol of opportunity, culture, education, and community.
This November, we invite you to join us for the Jenkins Legacy Celebration - A Weekend of Legacy, Leadership & Jazz.
Across two unforgettable days, we will honor the people and stories that shaped Jenkins, celebrate the leaders carrying its mission forward, and experience the music and cultural heritage that have long been part of the Jenkins story.
​
From the elegance of the Jenkins Legacy Gala to the energy of the Jenkins Jazz Legacy Concert, this weekend is more than a celebration of where we’ve been. It is an investment in where we are going—and in the children, youth, families, and community Jenkins will continue to serve for generations to come.
​
Honor the Legacy. Experience the Celebration. Invest in the Future.
THE WEEKEND
