Jacksonville, FL —

A million dollar partnership.  Jaguars owner Shad Khan is teaming up with One Spark, the first crowd funding festival planned for downtown Jacksonville this spring.

One Spark will display creative works of art in dozens of venues April 17th through the 21st.

Khan has pledged up to one million in capital for chosen creators who participate in the first-ever event.

"One Spark will attract and celebrate creativity in a variety of fields including science, technology, engineering and the arts, all of which are areas of great personal interest," said Khan.

"Jacksonville is the perfect host for this festival and I believe One Spark has the potential to inspire some really big thinking from the brightest minds in the area and beyond."

Khan's pledge in capital is from his STACHE Investments Corp., for chosen creators who participate in One Spark 2013.
