Be Ballet Arizona’s Bridge

COVID-19 has presented an unprecedented financial crisis for Ballet Arizona. With the loss of revenue and a temporary pause of performances, events, and fundraisers, the economic situation for Ballet Arizona is fragile.

We are resilient, but not without your help. 

Jacquie and Bennett Dorrance, longtime arts and culture philanthropists and community champions made a challenge gift of more than $250,000 to Ballet Arizona to help us navigate this financial crisis. They are asking you to join them in raising $1,000,000 in recovery and resiliency funding. 

You are the reason thousands of people enjoy the artistry and athleticism of ballet. Together we will overcome this challenge and, with your help, Ballet Arizona will continue to provide the artistic excellence that you have come to love and expect.

Please help us build a bridge to the future and make your gift today!
