Sweet White Jazzy Night will now be held on Saturday, June 27, 2026. This change allows us to continue building an experience worthy of your support while advancing our mission to fund scholarships for HBCU students.

If you purchased your ticket through Eventbrite, your refund will be issued beginning today, August 22, 2025. And, if you purchased tickets in person at Shiloh, we will issue refunds in person starting this Sunday.
