Ballet BC 2011 Spring Campaign

Dr. Kevin B. Leslie, Chair of the Board of Directors of Ballet BC has announced that Ballet BC's Spring Fundraising Campaign, running from January to June 2011, has surpassed its $300,000 goal by $100,000.

"This is a spectacular achievement given these difficult global economic times and demonstrates the goodwill and support Ballet BC enjoys in Vancouver and beyond," Dr. Leslie said. "The funds raised place the company in a secure financial position as it moves forward and is a clear indication that Ballet BC has continuing enthusiastic support in Vancouver". Executive Director Jay Rankin is encouraged by the ongoing swell of support for the revitalized contemporary ballet company and expressed his "sincere gratitude to all of our contributors who represent wide support for the direction of the company under Artistic Director Emily Molnar. Audiences in Vancouver are clearly anticipating the promise of further exciting experiences from the many choreographic stars participating in the company's 2011/2012 season."
