Fundraisers You Can Feel Good About (SACRAMENTO BALLET)

The Sacramento Ballet needs your help.

Like many nonprofit organizations, we operate on a very tight budget. Even a slight variation can make a huge difference in our financial situation. The Ballet is feeling the impact of this difficult economic climate. We need your support to continue to provide quality educational programs and to produce performances with a high standard of artistic excellence.

Our friends at CHEVRON have recognized Sacramento Ballet’s importance as a cultural resource in our community. Not only did they underwrite The Nutcracker Student Matinee’s and Nutcracker Sweet Sunday, but they also have pledged a $50,000 challenge grant.

For every dollar donated to The Sacramento Ballet by a business or individual, CHEVRON will match that gift dollar for dollar up to $50,000. If you have never contributed before, now is the time, if you are already a donor, we appreciate your additional support!

Please join CHEVRON and our family of supporters and make a difference in the cultural life of the Sacramento community.
