Sponsorship Opportunities

The works of the Desert Youth Ballet cannot be possible without the generosity of the community. All proceeds donated to The Desert Youth Ballet are used for performance backdrops, lighting, costumes, the necessary expenses of the Artistic Director and the office administration that keeps the organization running smoothly. Your contribution makes a difference.

You may become a member, friend, patron, sponsor, ballerina or prima ballerina by your generous contributions, and receive in return recognition in the Desert Youth Ballet programs, to tickets to their events.
