The Leadership Northwest Music Jam, presented by Wright Memorial Hospital and Hedrick Medical Center, will return for its fifth consecutive year at Black Silo Winery in Trenton, Missouri. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 30, coinciding with Trenton’s Alumni Weekend celebration.
As in previous years, ticket proceeds will benefit the Leadership Northwest Missouri program and the returning scholarship initiative. For the second year, Leadership Northwest Missouri will offer two $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors. One scholarship will be awarded to a student from Grundy County, the host county for the Music Jam, while the second scholarship will go to a student from any of the 19 counties in the Northwest Missouri region.
Applications are available on the Leadership Northwest Missouri website. Interested students can obtain more information from their high school counselor. The application deadline is April 1, 2025, and completed submissions can be emailed to leadershipnorthwestmissouri@gmail.com. Scholarship funds will be sent directly to the institution selected by the awarded students.
Jenna Stevens, a Music Jam committee member, expressed appreciation for the event’s growth, stating, “We are incredibly excited to see how Leadership Northwest Music Jam has grown each year and reached a level that allows us to give back by awarding scholarships to deserving high school seniors in our region. This would not be possible without the support of our sponsors and the generosity of everyone who has purchased a ticket over the past four years. We sincerely thank each and every one of you for making this possible.”
This year’s Leadership Northwest Music Jam committee includes Shane Lynch, Jenna Stevens, Marcia Cox, and Scott Sharp. Over the past four years, the event has raised more than $45,000 for the program.
