The AKArama Foundation has one major fundraiser each year entitled “AKArama”. The fundraiser was first named in 1956 when the suffice “rama’ was very popular. That year the fundraiser was held at the old Regal Theatre located at 47th and South Parkway (known today as King Drive). The event was a variety show and featured musical performances by Sonny Stitt and The Almad Jamal Trio, Johnny Griffin, The Johnny Pate Trio, Gene Ammons, and Sarah Lawler, Vernon Duncan, and the Walter Heni Dyett band which provided background music for the evening.
