CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 17, 2017 -- On Saturday, September 9th, Harlem Nights Benefits is presenting an evening of Latin Jazz in the Historic Fort Harrison, the Church of Scientology’s international religious retreat, to benefit the Clearwater Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. The event features the Terry Edwards Latin Jazz Band and starts at 6:00pm.
The event will begin with an introduction by Mr. Maurice Mickens, CEO of Harlem Nights Benefits. Mr. Dimitri Hernandez of the Terry Edwards Latin Jazz Band will follow with a history of Latin Jazz.
“I’m really excited to have this event in this location. The venue is beautiful and the service is impeccable,” said Mr. Mickens. “But more importantly is the history of Jazz which was performed here years ago, making this location an iconic spot for jazz. You can feel the energy of the performers who played here. We are looking forward to dancing to Jazz and R&B standards with a Latin flair. All for a good cause.”
The rest of the event will be a performance by the Terry Edwards Latin Jazz Band. The dance floor will be open for guests to dance. Tickets are $20 each with all the proceeds benefiting the Clearwater Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.
The Church of Scientology hosts community events such as this for non-profits and charities frequently.
“We are very happy to open up the beautiful Fort Harrison to the benefit of Tampa Bay’s deserving non-profits,” said Dylan Pires, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology in Clearwater. “So far this year we have hosted 11 non-profits for their own events servicing about 1,500 guests at them.”
