SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Congratulations are in order! Dance Alive National Ballet is indeed Soaring to New Heights as we proudly announce the naming of our new home, The Khoury Family Center for the Arts. We thank the Khoury Family for their support and belief in us.

The Company is preparing to build a new 22,000 sq. ft.+ new home that will include a Dance and Music Academy, Outreach programs, an art gallery, and a Black Box Theatre for performances and rentals, all situated on beautiful grounds in central Gainesville. A true cornerstone of the arts in the heart of North Central Florida.

With the merging of Dance Alive and Pofahl Studios, quality instruction will be assured, and with the new location students and renters will have fast and easy access.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN GOAL

 The Center is designed by architect James Blythe of BXP Architects with construction by Scherer Construction. It is a multi-million dollar undertaking and we have set our Capital Campaign fundraising goal at $7 million. But this is just the beginning. The final goal is only a destination we can arrive at with your help.

We are asking you to support our international award-winning dance Company by making a tax-deductible donation toward our $7,000,000 Capital Campaign.

Your generous donation to our Soaring to New Heights Capital Campaign will allow Dance Alive National Ballet to continue being an important cornerstone of the arts in the heart of North Central Florida – by expanding our opportunities to perform, teach, and provide outreach services to our community. Donations may be made by numerous methods such as cash, checks, stock, wire transfer, a gift agreement or pledges payable over time. For further information regarding this, contact James M. Roberts, Capital Campaign Chair at [email protected] or call Kim Tuttle at 352-359-2007. Pledge levels and naming opportunities are listed below.
