Dr. Fraser is best known for co-authoring the acclaimed 1979 autobiography To Be\, or Not…to Bop with legendary jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. \nThe evening is hosted by WCBD News 2 anchor Carolyn Murray\, and will feature a three-course dinner\, an open bar\, an exciting live auction\, and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference through the Fund-a-Need. The celebration will continue with a lively after-party featuring more live jazz! \nCelebrate the music. Support the mission.
