This past weekend, the 2025 Mead Jazz Festival brought together some of the region’s most talented middle and high school jazz musicians for two days of outstanding performances and unforgettable moments.
Wendy’s proudly served as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s festival as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting youth, education, and the arts through the We Love Band™ program. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to every student who took the stage. Your preparation, creativity, and musicianship were truly inspiring.
As part of our sponsorship, Wendy’s contributed monetary support to help make the festival possible, provided welcome bags to participating schools, presented gifts to recipients of the Outstanding Musician Award, and had the honor of awarding the prestigious Sweepstakes Trophy.
We are especially grateful to Mead High School for their continued partnership and for hosting such a well-organized, meaningful event that uplifts student musicians and showcases the impact of music education in our communities.
At Wendy’s, we believe in investing in the next generation—on stage, in the classroom, and throughout the community. The Mead Jazz Festival exemplifies the power of that investment, and we’re proud to stand behind these students as they pursue their passion for music.
We look forward to continuing our support of events that make a difference—and to hearing what these talented students do next.
