Leo's FSBT Fundraiser

A fundraiser for First State Ballet Theatre

$1,045 raised from 19 donors

$2,000 goal

I’m Leo McGrath.

I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.

I work surrounded by a group of dreamers. They are identifiable by their grit, tenacity, and belief that circumstances can get better. I feel a responsibility to all those dreamers to do all I can to make their lives better. My hope is to do something of value so that it might be felt by the dancers and in turn the communities we support.

This fundraiser will support the general budget of First State Ballet Theatre to ensure the continued development of world class artists and ongoing outreach efforts to positively impact schools local to Delaware.

This year we will receive additional money from Delaware Division of the Arts based on the amount of donations received as well as the total dollar amount.

No amount is too small!

Thankyou all for taking the time to pause with me for a moment in support of this arts organization.

About First State Ballet Theatre

Mission: To present ballet boldly to Delaware To enrich our community with live professional performances To inspire and educate dancers and audiences of the future To connect local youth with a creative, inclusive movement experience

Now in its 22st season, First State Ballet Theatre is Delaware’s only professional ballet company and serves thousands of Delawareans each year through our performances, our school, and our outreach programs. FSBT’s performing artists come from around the world to dance in our mainstage season at The Grand Opera House and other performances statewide. The School of FSBT is Delaware’s leader in classical ballet training and was recently named in the Top 5% of U.S. Ballet Academies by an independent study at Northeastern University. In 2019 FSBT created the National Ballet Competition, which awards thousands of dollars in scholarships for aspiring dancers to prestigious summer programs around the country. FSBT's outreach programs serve thousands of Delawareans with low-cost or free dance instruction and lecture-demos in schools and community centers statewide.
