I am writing to you today to ask for your assistance in helping to promote our upcoming 4th Annual Equinox Music Festival and new initiative of Jazz For Food.
Jazz For Food will allow your listeners the ability to attend any-and-all festival events FREE, in exchange for a charitable food donation that will go to benefit The Greater Boston Food Bank.
How you can help is, as you go through you daily play list, should you play any of the artists appearing with Equinox and Jazz For Food this year, if you could bring this to the attention of your listeners. Your listeners can Click-N-Print their Free tickets directly off the Equinox website.
