We are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing time we had at the Jazz, Wine and Art event on August 18. We cannot express enough thanks to each and every one of you who played a part in making this event a success. We raised over $5000 from donations, silent auctions, and 50/50 draws! 

To our donors, supporters, sponsors, and the 200 participants who joined us, we are eternally grateful.

The event was a true celebration of music, art, local wine, and food, all in support of our beloved South Shore conservation. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the incredible talent of the renowned Brian Legere & Michael Monis Quartet, who performed smooth jazz music as part of the PEC Jazz Festival.

A special thank you for contributing part of their sales to SSJI goes to:

• Exultet Estates – make sure to visit their beautiful vineyard at 1112 Royal Rd, Milford, ON K0K 2P0;
• Peg's Patties – check out their Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/pegspatties/ for instructions on ordering their mouthwatering patties;
• Black Cloud Bodega – drop by for Jonathan’s delicious sandwiches at 3046 County Rd 10, Milford, ON K0K 2P0.

We express our deepest appreciation to Dick Bird, who handcrafted the birdhouses and provided the perfect "canvas" for our creatives. We are in awe of the generous and talented artists and craftspeople in the County and beyond, who consistently support our work with enthusiasm. You can find a list of these incredible individuals here.

Through the silent auction of the exquisite handmade NESTINGS bird boxes (click here to view gallery), our participants contributed to the funding of our advocacy and educational work for the rare, fragile, and beloved South Shore of Prince Edward County.

Together, we can continue to protect and preserve Prince Edward County's South Shore. Thank you, once again, for your unwavering support and for making our event a memorable and successful one. (Full Media Release)
