In 1996, some people who were members of the P.O.L.O. Club of Lee county brought together an event called, "Jazz at the Harbour", a jazz concert to benefit the Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida.  In 1997, the event was moved to Gateway Golf and County Club. Along with the change of venue, the Committee enthusiastically decided to revive and adopt the name - "Jazz on the Green™".

Jazz on the Green, now a mainstay in the Southwest Florida jazz scene, and an event which has garnered praise from thousands, returns with an even bigger and better show than ever presented. The large audiences and phenomenal community, sponsor and media support over the past years have established our jazz concert as Southwest Florida's preeminent jazz/charity fundraising event.  We remain committed to the goal that Jazz on the Green will be a greatly anticipated annual affair.

The financial support that we have received from the community, our corporate sponsors and our in-kind sponsors has been overwhelming. Because of this generosity, we look forward to presenting The Children's Hospital (Lee Memorial Health System), and the small, fragile and precious children, whom they serve, with a handsome charitable contribution. Each year we hope to far exceed all previous monetary goals. To date, Jazz on the Green has donated approximately $300,000 to this worthy cause and raised the awareness of The Children's Hospital cause with event marketing from this single event worth millions of dollars and billions of consumer impressions through mass media partnerships.
