The one and only Kayla Taylor Jazz returns for the fifth consecutive year. Kayla, along with Pat Cowan, Steve Moore and Mike Zimmerman, have been overwhelming crowd favorites. Specializing in Jazz and standards from the '40's and '50's, the group's new CD, Someone to Watch Over Me, is now out. Kayla and her ensemble are passionately-committed advocates for children and youth.


Last year’s Ball raised more than $290,000, providing funds for continued service to 840 abused, neglected, and rejected children. CHRIS Kids' strong partnerships with Atlanta’s corporate and civic leaders enables us to break the cycle of abuse by healing children, strengthening families, and building community.
