Making it Possible!
The
talent and artistry we witness on stage each season would not be
possible without the leadership of our Golden Circle members. These
caring individuals demonstrate their passion for and commitment
to American Ballet Theatre through generous annual contributions
of $1,000 and more. With ticket sales covering only half of the
costs associated with maintaining our world-class Company, we rely
on members of The Golden Circle to provide a critical source of
the funding necessary to cover ABT’s operational and programming
expenses.
Members of The Golden Circle demonstrate their commitment to excellence
by helping sustain one of America’s national treasures. This
devoted group has set an example that leadership, dedication, and
philanthropy are essential elements of American Ballet Theatre.
