Forget to pack food for Jazz in the Park this week.
Just before Jazz in the Park starts, Jimmy John's is hosting their Freaky Fast Sandwich Auction right there in Cathedral Square.
Head over to to the Kilbourn Avenue side of the park around 5:30 p.m. when fast-talking charity auctioneer Jim Miller will be auctioning off unique packages consisting of Jimmy John’s gourmet sandwiches paired with other themed prizes.
All of the money raised at the Jimmy John's Freaky Fast Sandwich Auction will be donated to the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist's Open Door Cafe meal program, which provides food to the homeless Sunday through Friday, serving up to 250 people per day. So, not only will you get a "Turkey Tom" or "County Club" for dinner, hundreds of needy people will also have a good meal.
Make sure you get downtown quickly because Cathedral Square is bound to fill up with jazz-goers, plus this auction is so "freaky fast" that it'll be over by 6 p.m.
I used to volunteer for the Open Door Cafe at St. John's, and it is an incredible program. I would really urge anyone to have at this auction... Not only are Jimmy John's subs amazingly delicious, but you'd be supporting a good cause, too.
