Your contributions to Fort Wayne Ballet’s Annual Fund truly are an investment in yourself, your family, and your community. As an integral part of greater Fort Wayne’s arts scene, Fort Wayne Ballet provides opportunities to see and learn – the very building blocks of creative, constructive community development.
Your contributions go to work by:
• Providing scholarships so that any child who is interested in dance training has opportunities to be a part of the Auer Academy of Fort Wayne Ballet.
• Maintaining outstanding levels of professional faculty and state-of-the-art dance facilities.
• Keeping our professional dancers’ salaries competitive; increasing and investing in our productions, sets, and costumes; and keeping ticket prices affordable.
