The third annual Leadership Northwest Missouri Music Jam saw record attendance and brought in nearly $12,000 during its recent benefit concert.

Country music artist Greylan James, and Trenton locals, Charlie Bacon, Travis Mullenix, and Sam Gibson, drew a crowd of approximately 315 attendees to the concert on Saturday night, which is the largest crowd to date at the event over the last three years.

All ticket proceeds benefited the Leadership Northwest Missouri program and raised $11,615 for the organization.

“This year’s Leadership Northwest Music Jam was fantastic,” said Kendra Pickering, LNWMO Class of 2022 and LNWMO Executive Director in a news release. “There was entertaining live music, good food, and wonderful company getting together to benefit a great organization.”

Leadership Northwest Missouri would like to thank the attendees for supporting the music event and making it the most successful year yet. Also, a very special thank you to all the sponsors for their ongoing generosity and support for the event and organization.
