FRIENDS OF BALLET PALM BEACH

FRIENDS of Ballet Palm Beach is a hospitality and volunteer organization, a group of ballet enthusiasts whose support is vital to the on-going operation of Ballet Palm Beach.

FRIENDS help the Ballet by:

• Assisting at The Nutcracker and other ballet performances and events
• Assisting at fundraisers, donor recognitions, BPB Academy programs and various special events
• Staffing the Ballet Boutique at performances
• Providing cost-saving clerical support to ballet departments
• Assisting with public relations and outreach activities

FRIENDS have an opportunity to meet other dance enthusiasts when they work on these volunteer assignments and when they attend bi-monthly General Meetings. Dancers and staff from the ballet are guest speakers at the General Meetings, giving FRIENDS a unique opportunity to increase their knowledge of the company and the world of ballet.
