Individual Giving

Overview

We are so glad you were able to be with us on Friday night for the beauty, elegance, and inspiration that characterized the Joffrey’s 2013 Spring Gala. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm!

We hope you were moved by the performance, were inspired by the video, and enjoyed dining, dancing and celebrating alongside the company dancers. Your presence made the night an enormous success, and we are grateful.

Our mission is to return the power of dance to the people of Chicago. You are a partner in this venture. There are many opportunities for The Joffrey Ballet to make a difference in our community. For those of you who have contributed to our education programs, thank you. For those of you who would like to do more, please follow the link below.

The Gala is a fantastic opportunity for all parts of the Joffrey family to shine – from the first grade Bridge Program students and the Exelon Strobel Step-Up Dancers to our Joffrey Academy Trainees and our company of professional Joffrey dancers. You are a valuable member of this family…thank you for your support.

Kindest regards,
