Sponsorship Opportunities

For Season 33
General contributions throughout the year always go toward school programs and our ongoing outreach in the community, as well as world-class training and pop-up performances. You may make your gift toward best general use, or to one of the specific purposes below.

1. Mainstage Season Performance Sponsorships
(Corporate Sponsorships and Individual Donations )

One of the best ways to support the Ballet in our region is through an annual sponsorship. Your donation supports our award-winning productions on stage at the Berglund Performing Arts Theatre, home of Southwest Virginia Ballet. Sponsorships can be arranged through in-kind donations and other methods of support, as well.

One of the ways we use your donation is to secure tickets to our performances for local and regional public school audiences. This year, we are inviting more than 2,000 kids to experience The Nutcracker with live orchestra!

Grand Waltz: $25,000+
Grand Jete: $20,000 – $24,999

Adagio: $5,000 – $9,999
Releve: $2,500 – $4,999

(Donations of any size to support the formation and continued presence of the Orchestra of Virginia’s Blue Ridge)

Southwest Virginia Ballet is pleased to announce the formation of the Orchestra of Virginia’s Blue Ridge conducted by Dr. Wayne Gallops. Funding for the Orchestra ensures we can feature live musical accompaniment for our performances going forward. We are hoping to secure funding for the next five years of orchestral accompaniment (ten Mainstage productions.)
