Stephen’s FSBT Fundraiser

A fundraiser for: First State Ballet Theatre

Organization 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; and to connect local youth with a creative, inclusive movement experience.

I’m Stephen Everson.

I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.

Hi all! 
Thank you for visiting this page and for supporting First State Ballet Theatre! 
FSBT needs your help! The Delaware Division of the Arts is offering a stretch pool of $175,000 for the arts organizations in Delaware with our approx budget range. The amount that First State Ballet Theatre will receive from the stretch pool is based on the NUMBER of gifts, rather than the dollars raised. 

I am in my second year as a dancer with FSBT and I could not be more grateful to be here. First State Ballet Theatre is committed to producing high quality productions and the opportunities that I have had here have pushed me beyond what I thought was possible. I have grown both as a person and as an artist while dancing for this organization.
We have the amazing opportunity to dance many of the beautiful classical ballets that everyone has come to know and love, as well as working with choreographers in the process of creating brand new contemporary and modern works. 
All that to say that First State Ballet Theatre has had an incredible positive influence both throughout the surrounding communities and in my life personally and I am looking forward to everything that will be achieved going forward!

This is an amazing opportunity for a potentially drastic increase in support for First State Ballet Theatre and every donation, no matter the amount, would be gratefully received!

Will you join me in helping support this amazing organization?
About First State Ballet Theatre

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.
