"Once Upon a Storytime" Ballet Benefits
We believe in the power of art as a force for good in the world! This Series is an opportunity to for ballet students to share their developing talents with the broader community while making a positive impact in the lives of others. Velveteen Rabbit is being produced in support of improving children's literacy through the non-profit, Operation Literacy. We hope our combined efforts inspire a love of reading, foster creativity, and provide young people with the tools they need to tell their own stories! In the past, our benefit series has raised over $8,000 for Cache Valley causes including The Little Lambs Foundation, The Family Place, Zootah, and the Loaves and Fishes Community Meal. Come be part of the magic!
