In April 2024, Charlottesville Ballet’s Dancers for Dancers (D4D) program raised a record-breaking $22,422 towards scholarships and financial aid! Our CBA students, donors, and volunteers went above and beyond with 200+ students participating and over 450 donations!
Check out some of the creative ways our students raised money to support their peers this year:
THANK YOU to all who donated and to teach of our students and families who participated!
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we are committed to making dance accessible to our community. Each year, we typically fund over $250,000 in scholarships and financial aid, which is an important part of our mission to make dance accessible to everyBODY! D4D fosters a community where students help raise the funds that contribute towards their peers’ scholarships. To date, our students have raised more than $80K through six fundraisers!
For CBA students who participated in the fundraiser there are fun prizes to be won, including a voucher for a FREE donut to The Donut Kitchen located in Pantops!
