Do Good By Having Fun with Carl Brown
In this special 50th episode of Fresh Coast Jazz Backstage, we will be learning more about the founder of the Podcast, Carl Brown. Carl shares his background, the business that he retired from, personal development, and how he is preparing for the upcoming Fresh Coast Jazz Festival.
Fresh Coast Jazz Festival founders Carl and Nicole Brown felt compelled to make a positive
impact on the community. Just before Carl’s father, James Brown, passed away from cancer, he instructed Carl to, “Always think of others more highly than yourself.” Carl and Nicole had already started the James and Reopa Brown Scholarship to honor his parents, but they wanted to make a greater philanthropic impact on their community. They began brainstorming how to raise the necessary funds.
In 2017, while Carl and Nicole were attending the Indianapolis Jazz Festival, Nicole got a glint in her eye. She leaned over to Carl and said, “This is what we should do, start a jazz festival to benefit our community.” And, the concept of the Fresh Coast Jazz Festival was born!
The Fresh Coast Jazz Festival aims to establish a world-class, annual jazz festival in the City of Festivals. The philanthropic goal is to raise $1 million dollars, to provide deserving underserved young people with financial assistance for college, to provide grants to area public schools to help support their music programs, and to provide funds for medical research and to assist those suffering from serious/terminal illnesses.
