Amador County – The Jackson Rancheria last week distributed the proceeds from the 2011 Mother Lode Hot Jazz Party to this year’s recipients, giving $10,000 to three organizations.

Jackson Rancheria Vice President of Marketing Ron Olivero gave large ceremonial checks to two of the three recipients of the funds last week. The Arc of Amador and Calaveras Counties received $5,000 from the Jazz Party, and Mother Lode Friends of Music got $3,000, while the Jackson Revitalization Committee received $2,000.

During the ceremonial presentation, Olivero gave a check to Vice Mayor Wayne Garibaldi and City Manager Mike Daly of the city of Jackson, for the donation to the Jackson Revitalization Committee. Olivero also gave a check to Mike Sweeney from The Arc.

Carol Cook, content developer for the Jackson Rancheria Marketing Department announced the donations for this year’s recipients of funding from the Mother Lode Hot Jazz Party. This was the first year for the Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel to host the Jazz Party. Cook said “over the 33 years of this event, proceeds have contributed more than $300,000 to local non-profit organizations.”
