Support FSBT

A fundraiser for First State Ballet Theatre

$365 raised from 19 donors

$300 goal

I’m Antonio Rosario.

I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.

Hello and thank you for visiting my Fundraising page!
I am excited to share why I am raising money for First State Ballet Theatre (FSBT) and why I am thrilled to be a part of this organization.
 As ballet artists in the the United States, we relay on grants, donations and fundraiser to not only make our art form thrive but survive. First State Ballet Theatre is Delaware's only professional ballet company, we bring the highest level of performances. From the classics like Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Swan Lake and Don Quixote to a range of contemporary dance like our Triple Bill this pass February that included three different bodies of work displaying power and versatility. 
We are fortune to reside at the Grand Opera House where we perform all of our work. 
My desire is to see FSBT grow to its fullest potential and we are not able to do that without the support and help from people like you. Any amount helps tremendously to continue to create exciting and meaningful art.
