You can play a significant role in maintaining the beauty of our visually elegant performances that have pleased audiences for the past seven years. It is no secret that the cost of putting on a production is high. Even though we have developed an appreciative audience, the income generated from ticket sales alone cannot match the cost of producing new ballets.
All of our costumes are designed and sewn by our own costumer; our sets are built on site and painted by local artists; our costly drops are ordered for each performance; and, with the added cost of extra lighting and stage affects, we are very concerned about the decreasing budget which is threatening the River Raisin Ballet Company’s future. In these economic hard times, supporting the arts is even more vital. No price can be placed on the short and long-term benefits to students who actively participate in the arts.
Your fundraising efforts can help us to keep our doors open and our dancers on the stage. You will be supporting the creativity and magic of our ballets which inspire the students and delight audiences. Call 734-242-7722 to share your fundraising ideas.
If you cannot help fundraise, perhaps you would like to become a FRIEND of the River Raisin Ballet Company. Your $200 donation will give you the benefit of viewing a closed dress rehearsal and other benefits.
