Support ARB's Winter Appeal

American Repertory Ballet's Annual Appeal makes a significant difference in our ability to sustain our 2011-2012 programming, including the Company's world class dance performances, Princeton Ballet School's outstanding dance education and the continued expansion of our acclaimed Access & Enrichment programs.

 

We cannot continue our work without your help.  We hope that in this season of giving you choose to give back to ARB.  Your support, in any amount, is greatly appreciated.  Here are some programs that your support can help fund: 

  • "Keep the Magic Alive" Nutcracker Fund: Help make our stage reflect the caliber of dancing that graces it.  
  • Princeton Ballet School Scholarship Fund: During this economic crisis, we kept many students dancing by offering unfunded need and merit based assistance.
  •  Alumni Named Scholarships: Each year at our  Princeton Ballet School's Spring performance we award merit-based scholarships named after Audrée Estey, Ruth Petit, Philip Jerry, Molly Clifton, Nora Orphanides, and Sally Edwards.  These funds insure that these amazing alumni will honor our history as we continue to inspire a new generation of dancers.
  • American Repertory Ballet's Pointe Shoe Fund: It costs ARB over $15,000 every year to provide pointe shoes for our female dancers.
  • Organizational Support Help: Help empower the organization to reach greater heights.
